Power Quality Site Surveys

In most industries, maintaining a consistent supply voltage is crucial. Too low, and you risk malfunctions; too high, and serious damage can occur. The voltage supplied to your premises can be very different to what you might expect, and what your equipment demands.

And the challenges extend beyond mere voltage levels. In today’s world, users of high-tech electronics and sensitive devices demand more than just stable voltage. They require a supply that is not only consistent but also free from transient spikes and electrical noise. You might assume that patchy power is restricted to developing countries, but even in developed economies we are now seeing that the power demand can outstrip supply capacity. Consequently, significant voltage fluctuations, surges, and brownouts occur within the national grid, affecting sensitive control applications, lengthening process or charging times, or reducing equipment lifespan.
