Power Quality Analysis in the USA

Have you ever faced issues like equipment shutdown for no reason at all, computer and other digital electronic devices suddenly stop working, or burn out in your company? If so, the cause for it may not be faulty equipment.

If the load does not operate properly, the quality of the electric power is suspected to be a possible cause. The source of poor power quality is generally from load-side equipment operation, not from the supply end.

Thats why the power quality study is so significant in reducing the downtime as well as improving the productivity.

Carelabs offers electrical installation study, testing, inspection, and certification services for numerous businesses across the US. We have been offering power quality analysis in different states of America.

Earlier electrical loads were linear. But in the last few decades, developments in technology and electronics like uninterrupted power supplies, motor drives, etc. introduce nonlinear, harmonic producing loads.

Harmonics will do the most damage to the electrical equipment over time. They will trip breakers, blow fuses and lead to more expensive problems, like- overheats the cable, motor, transformer, and damage to the sensitive equipment.

Unbalanced loads, Improper wiring & grounding are also causing of poor power quality.

To minimize the risk of loss in production and damage to electrical equipment, power quality analysis is used to investigate the problem, find the cause, and initiate corrective action.

Why power quality must be a concern for companies of all sizes?

The Electrical Power Research Institute stated in an article that yearly U.S. losses around $15 to $24 billion across all business sectors due to power quality issues. Especially, the U.S. plastics industry loses $9.6 billion every year. And up to 80% of these losses are preventable and curable.

Properly addressing power quality problems is the largest cost reduction opportunity and economic advantage in industries

Signs of Poor Power Quality:

  • Motor windings burnout and downtime,
  • Corrupt, losing files and destruction of the hardware components,
  • Low power factor problems causing utility penalties on electric bills,
  • Transformers failing and overheating issues
  • Frequent PCB power quality analysis services board failure
  • Light flickering

Carelabs help you identify different types of power quality problems that industries may encounter classified depending on how the supply waveform is being distorted

  • transients, dips, swells, and interruption,
  • sustained interrupts, under-voltage, and over-voltage,
  • voltage imbalance, waveform distortion like dc offset, harmonics, and noise, voltage fluctuations, and power frequency variations

What is Power Quality Analysis?

The main purpose of the power system distribution is to ensure proper operation of the loads. When an electrical power system fails to meet its purpose, it is time to analyze the problem, find the root cause.

Whether it’s for troubleshooting, to get base data, measuring/analyzing parameters is referred to as power quality analysis.

Power quality analysis identifies power quality issues. It will further help to address reliable and stable operation concerns before they impact your electrical system’s performance Analyzing electrical parameters associated with electricity distribution is viewed as one of the complex engineering works.

Power quality analyser is utilized to track and record power supply readings and also for downloading gathered information to computers for study and analysis purposes. Carelabs offers an extensive power quality analysis solution that will enable you to diagnose and perform remedial actions for existing power problems or prevent them from occurring in the future. We will find areas of concern and provide you with a detailed report outlining potential solutions.

In a power quality analysis, our technicians use diagnostic power quality analysis tool to measure multiple parameters in real-time. These analysis tool can measure voltage, amperage, frequency, sags, and swells in voltage values, power factor, harmonic currents, and more.

Based on the power quality measurement, technicians’ study and analysis the facility’s power quality and reveal hidden problems which can affect multiple aspects of your business.

Carelabs process of power quality analysis:

  • The aim of the survey is noted and onsite assessment
  • Proceed analysis with a one-line diagram of the electrical systems.
  • Analyzer is connected at a particular location in the distribution end of the main circuit breaker that will regulate incident energy levels to a satisfactory range.
  • Continue to proceed along with the distribution system following the one-line diagram.
  • Obtain data from each distinctly derived system.
  • Studying the gathered data and conducting further analysis.
  • Submission of reports and solution recommendation

The primary reason facilities need power quality analysis service is to ensure that your facility is running safely and efficiently.

When it comes to preventing and finding solutions for electrical power problems.

Carelabs offer power quality analysis service to various industries including manufacturers, plants, retailers, traders, governments, NGOs, and various other buyers & sellers in the global markets.

We offer our services in New York, Ohio, Illinois, New Mexico, New Jersey, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Washington, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and all the major states and cities in the United States of America.
