Power quality refers to how efficiently a piece of equipment can utilize the supplied energy. Power quality difficulties lead to excessive energy consumption and bills, high maintenance costs, direct economic consequences, lost productivity, downtime and irreplaceable resources, and unstable or malfunctioning equipment. Any organization must consider energy management, and any energy management program must take power quality into account. CareLabs offers a number of services that address a wide range of energy-related problems. We offer services for investigating and analysing power quality based on our industry ability.

Problems with the Electrical Supply:

Quality of power supply is a more complex and subtle indicator than reliability. It is irrelevant whether or whether there is an enough supply. Rather, the issue is whether the source can be used.

Alterations in power quality fall into two categories:

Disruptions:

If the voltage or current is incorrect, a disruption may develop. When the peak value of a transient voltage reaches a certain threshold, it may be calculated. When the RMS variation crosses a certain threshold, RMS voltage fluctuations such as dips, swells, and interruptions are visible.

Variations from the constant:

Variations in the steady state include variations in the RMS voltage and the distortion of harmonic waves. Voltage and current must be measured throughout time to monitor these alterations. This sample data best illustrates the extent of voltage distortion over time. The average distortion level, which is 95% unlikely to be exceeded, may then be analyzed using alternative methods.

Among the elements that affect supplier quality are:

Voltage consistency
The frequency of its availability
Voltage drops
Voltage surges
Voltage fluctuations
Harmonic alterations
Radio frequency estimate

The bulk of these objects are challenging to identify and observe. Typically, particular testing equipment is necessary to measure them, and only trained personnel or engineers should do the measurements.

Voltage Constant:

The steady-state voltage levels of an electrical system are continuously changing due to load and other system events. Typically, voltage levels fall as the load rises. Similarly, the voltage rises when a load is removed.

Inequitable Voltage:

It is a difference in the value of the three-phase supply or a change in the phase angle. It can also be caused by unbalanced circuit impedances and unbalanced loads. It causes things to heat up, deteriorates equipment, and reduces their effectiveness.

Voltage Variations:

Voltage sags are short reductions in RMS supply voltage lasting between 0.5 and 1 minute. Voltage swells are short rises in the RMS supply voltage exceeding a limit of 0.5 cycles to one minute.

Regularity of Supply:

The supply frequency is the rate at which the voltage waves fluctuate. NEMMCO is responsible for managing the National Electricity Market (National Electricity Market Management Company). Outside of the National Electricity Market, the local generating authority decides the frequency standards.

Harmonic Alterations:

It is a recurring change in the pattern of the supply voltage or current. Extra harmonics can lead to increased losses, flickering lights, malfunctions, radio interference, motor vibrations, and ineffective sensitive equipment.

The technique at CareLabs for analysing power quality is as follows:

Both the objective of the power quality survey and the evaluation on-site are documented.
As you progress through your inquiry, develop a one-line diagram of the whole electrical system.
Multiple power analyzer connections are made at the distribution end to collect data from each individual system.
Maintaining the distribution network as depicted by the one-line diagram.
In addition to examining and analysing the collected data, extra analysis is performed.
Submitted report with suggested fixes

Our highly knowledgeable staff can help you figure out how to fix power quality problems. The power quality of your system will be at its peak if you conduct exhaustive investigation and analysis. Please contact us if you would like to learn more about our power quality analysis service.
