How to improve Power Quality within a work setting

Niggles with electrics aren’t uncommon within factories and when power quality issues arise it can cause problems with harmonic currents. If the Power Quality is being affected by harmonic distortion this can have a negative impact on the distribution network. The G5/4 Energy Networks Association document clearly indicates the maximum amount of harmonic distortion that can be exported onto the distribution network, break the limit and severe penalties can occur which can include disconnection from the electric supply until the problem with the Power Quality is addressed.

So how do you improve the Power Quality of a supply that is suffering from harmonic distortion? A good place to start is with power management services that specialise in all aspects of Power Quality.

Stay compliant with G5/4

Okay, say you find there’s a problem with your power quality and the last thing you want to do is to breach the terms of the G5/4 document. You know there’s a definite electrical distortion on site, poor Power Quality is affecting the performance of some of your machinery and you want to find a cure that prevents this problem from becoming a major nightmare.

Harmonics need to be dealt with professionally by a power management company that can and will improve Power Quality on site. There are various methods to deal with Power Quality and by assessing the depth of the problem and by analysing data on site a suitable resolve can be found. If you are experiencing voltage distortion on site and are worried you are in breach of G5/4 have a harmonic survey and find out the true extent of the problem.

Fault investigation holds the key

Issues with power quality can spiral out of control if they aren’t dealt with as soon as possible. Where there’s a danger that G5/4 might be breached it’s imperative that Power Quality is investigated to identify and quantify the true extent of the harmonic related problems. This is where harmonic surveys can prove to be vital they can establish the true extent of the Power Quality issue. On-site investigations into electrical phenomena can pinpoint the problem then suitable solutions are recommended that will enable corrective measures to be taken to improve the Power Quality.

When Power Quality causes problems have a harmonic survey and you’ll be advised on how you can clean up those electrical distortions.
