With the increasingly widespread use of sensitive computer equipment, high voltage and below minimum demanded voltage spikes disturbances creating problems for different industries. Power quality can adversely impact the bottom line of the companies.
Poor power quality has many names, such as harmonics, transient, sags, swells, surges, blackout, and noise. Without preventive maintenance, an electrical system can waste millions of dollars in electric utility costs itself.
Care Labs will apply recording to your power system to detect the origin of these issues. We will also recommend remedying the problem in the best way, so it has not created a problem ahead for you.
Care Labs provides power quality study and analysis services in Canada. We are trusted service provider of many regions in Canada.
What is Power Quality Analysis:
To analyzing electrical parameters associated with distributing electricity, whether it is used for troubleshooting purposes or collecting data reading, measuring, or analyzing the parameter of the electrical system is called power quality analysis.
Why does power quality analysis need?
To minimize the risks of lost production and damage to electrical equipment, power quality study and analysis need to be done, so it can determine the root cause of the issues and can assist some data to mitigate issues.
As defined by the IEEE Std 1100-1999, IEEE Recommended Practice for Power and Grounding Electronic equipment in that way, it is fully suitable to its operation and compatible with premise wiring systems and other equipment.
This guide has three primary objectives:
- To improve technology for minimizing any undesirable power quality impacts of energy-saving technologies,
- To understand the potential energy savings of power quality-related technologies and
- To deliver guides for evaluating remedial techniques.
Compliance Standards:
IEC Standards 61000, recommended for the power quality practice.
IEC Standards 61000-4-7, recommended for voltage harmonics and inter-harmonics.
IEC Standards 61000-4-15, recommended for flickers.
IEC 77A/301/CD- Electromagnetic capability (EMC), testing and measurement techniques, -Power quality measurement method.
CEA 220 D711, Power quality measurement protocol Canadian Electricity Association, May 1996.
What is Done During Power Quality Analysis?
In this modern era, people prefer shared infrastructure, and this also causes several power qualities issues. The higher the state of errors, the larger the people affected.
Signs of poor power quality:
- Transformer failing and downtime.
- Motor and machinery malfunction and downtime.
- Power factor problems and high utility penalties.
- Control memory loss and downtime.
Each of the problems shown above occurred due to different causes and factors. So, solving these problems needs several techniques and methods to overcome these issues. Care Labs offers several services related to power quality, including harmonic analysis and arc flash assessment to overcome critical situations.
Steps for Power Quality Analysis:
- First, we need to focus on the aim of the survey, to analyze the power quality issue, and determine the origin of the problems, so we can mitigate issues.
- The motive should be on paper, which helps during the survey period.
- Start with a one-line diagram of the worksite.
- Analyzer needs fix in the right place, through which it will regulate the incident energy level to the satisfied range.
- Continue your work with a one-line diagram.
- Record all the data recorded from all the end of the derived system.
- Printout through the digital camera and other data needs to be maintained, which can help you studying data and at further survey.
- If found any harmonics go with the solution to mitigate issues.
- If Any power quality issue is detected, locate it for remedy.
- After diagnosing all the problems, repeat the survey until it all safe for the electrical equipment.

Cost Effective Arc Flash Study in Canada
The importance of arc flash studies in Canada’s robust manufacturing and energy sectors cannot be overstated. Why? Because it evaluates the risks associated with any electrical system. It is a core element to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment in a facility. Traditionally, it involves significant manpower, time, and resources. Enter Carelabs, a pioneer […]
The Role of Short Circuit Analysis in Enhancing Workplace Electrical Safety
Introduction Canada has one of the world’s most robust workplace electrical safety regulations. The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) summarizes employers’ and supervisors’ rights and duties. Short circuit analysis identifies potential fault sections and their consequences in complex electrical systems. This helps develop a proper protection strategy and thus contributes to workplace electrical safety. Let […]
