This study, also known as power quality study, allows us to determine the best solution to improve the quality of your electrical systems.
Study in which we analyze the current behavior of your facilities to implement the required solution in case of non-compliance with any standard or find a distortion in the electrical system.
We install an energy analyzer equipment in your plant to evaluate the types of loads, processes, to which substation the connection is made, etc.
The main power quality problems can be segmented into two major categories: 8 steady state fluctuations and 4 transient state fluctuations.
Occurs when the power supply frequency deviates from the standard level (60Hz) due to a difference between power supply and demand, which can cause equipment malfunction or reduced performance.
A measure of energy efficiency in an AC circuit, expressed as the ratio of real power (watts) to apparent power (volt-amperes). Although not a quality problem per se, a poorly designed solution generates PQ problems and a low power factor can significantly increase energy costs.

A phenomenon that occurs when nonlinear loads, such as electronic devices with converters or inverters, electric arc furnaces or saturated transformers, introduce harmonic frequencies into the power system.

Presence of unwanted high-frequency electrical signals in the power system. These signals can be generated by a variety of sources, including electronic equipment, electric motors and welding equipment.

Occurs when voltage levels between phases are not equal.

Flicker phenomena are periodic fluctuations in voltage caused by rapid changes in the magnitude of the load current perceptible to the human eye.

Supply voltage reduction lasting more than one minute caused by short circuits, start-up of large loads or capacitor bank operation outputs.

Increase in supply voltage lasting more than 10 seconds caused by large loads going out of operation or capacitor banks going into operation that can cause damage or overloading of equipment.

Voltage sags are a decrease or reduction in supply voltage with duration from 8.33 ms to 1 minute caused by atmospheric discharges, short circuits or start-up of large loads.

Surges are an increase in supply voltage with a short duration of 8.33 ms to 10 seconds caused by atmospheric discharges, short circuits and start-up of large loads.

These are sudden voltage changes with duration less than half a cycle. They are divided into Pulses that can be caused by atmospheric discharges, energization of capacitors, and disconnection of large motors. And notches or Notch that can be caused by shorts between phases during SCR switching or thyristor switching.

These are complete interruptions in the power supply that produce a reduction in the supply voltage greater than 90%.
By prioritizing compliance, you minimize the risk of financial and legal consequences and protect your company's reputation.
Contact usImproving power quality helps mitigate these technical and economic problems.
To avoid these pitfalls, it is important for industrial users to prioritize regulatory compliance and invest in the resources and equipment necessary to meet regulatory standards. This may include the implementation of power quality solutions, such as active or passive harmonic filters, Statcoms and others, as well as the periodic review and updating of compliance policies and procedures.
