PQ Study involved the measure and analysis of harmonic distortions, voltage sags or surges, transients, and other power quality irregularities that can potentially cause major disruptions to facility operations. With the ever-increasing large-scale use of electronics with non-linear power consumption, power quality has been deteriorating, causing major economic losses.

Common Power Quality (PQ) issues are Lights Flickering or Dimming, Equipment shutdowns or sudden maloperation, Tripping of circuit breakers, Data loss in electronic equipment, Automatic Resets, overheating of electrical distribution systems, and UPS alarms going off unexpectedly, Capacitor failures, Cable overheating, VFD / electronic card failures, Transformer failures, Humming noise, Protection Relays, Controllers Malfunctions etc.

If you are facing any of the following issues, then it the time to talk to our experts and go for a Power Quality Study or root cause analysis. ● Premature failure of Motors, Transformers, Capacitor banks and Rotating Machines. ● Malfunction of Controllers and protective devices such as fuses and relays. ● Unexpected power supply failures (breakers tripping, fuses blowing). ● Overheating, Generation of noise and reduced life of capacitors, surge suppressors, rotating machines, Transformers, cables etc.

Power quality issues are not limited to any specific industries, various industries like Pharmaceuticals, Semiconductor plants, Petrochemical and fertilizers, Data Centres, Hospitals, Automotive manufacturing, rubber, plastic, Cement, Smart and Microgrids, Offices etc. are affected.

ACTIVITY

While the frequency of Power Quality Studies differs from business to business, it is recommended to audit your electrical systems every 1-3 years. The frequency depends on factors such as - size of the faculty, complexity of electrical system, risk ratio of the environment etc. We at JEF techno can help you access the ideal frequency for your PQ Audit and Studies.
