Power Quality Analysis
Nilsen Engineering Services’ team provides comprehensive power quality analysis and can implement measures to bring power quality to acceptable standards. Improving power quality can bring significant financial benefits.
- Poor power quality can damage sensitive equipment.
- Poor power quality can lower productivity and also drive up energy costs.
- Poor power quality can cause increased expenditure on electrical assets when plant or building expansion is necessary.
- Poor power quality can impair the safety of electrical installations.
Poor power quality is caused by:
- Harmonic distortion and voltage fluctuations.
- Low power factor—this can increase electricity costs through maximum demand charges.
- Power electronic loads (variable speed drives, welders, CNC machines, etc).
- Inadequate wiring plan, and undersized circuits.
Nilsen Engineering Services’ expert team can assess power quality of electrical installations in cost-effective ways.
- Initial examination of plant or building electrical documentation to identify likely areas for investigation.
- Overall installation power quality measurement, and initial report.
- Detailed analysis of the installation and recommendations for improvement.
