Power Quality Analysers

There are a number of ways in which electrical power can be of poor quality. Improper wiring, incorrect grounding, and unbalanced loads are just a few examples of conditions that can produce electrical noise through an electrical system which compromise on power quality.

There is no such thing as perfect power quality in the real world. Service interruptions, equipment malfunction, and excess power consumption are all common symptoms of poor power quality.

The reliability and cost of any electrical system depends greatly on the quality of the power supplied to and consumed by the system. Poor power quality may result in improper functioning, overheating, accelerated wear and tear, falsely tripped circuit breakers and, in some cases, hazardous conditions.

With the introduction of new technologies in electronics day by day, the world has placed new and more complex demands for clean and reliable power.

Measuring Power Quality typically involves calculating indicators of power demand, power consumption and power cleanliness.

By measuring demand and consumption, consumers can identify cost centres in their electrical infrastructures as well as engineer the electrical infrastructure required to meet those demands.

By measuring cleanliness, consumers are able to avoid improper function, overheating and a plethora of other consequences of unclean power. Power cleanliness refers to identifying and freeing power of "harmonics". The concept of harmonics is a bit more difficult to understand than demand and consumption.

Harmonics are a result of non-linear loads that cause irregular spikes and dips in voltage and current on an electrical system.

The power provided by utility companies is delivered in the form of a constant voltage AC (Alternating Current) and takes the shape of a sine wave. As per Ohms law, the amount of current used by an electrical device depends on the load (inductance) of that device. If the load varies over time, so will the current. Harmonics appear when varying loads (non-linear) create short pulses of current that deform the supplied, sinusoidal current waveform, creating an arbitrary waveform.

A power quality analyser is used to measure electric power signals to determine the load's ability to function properly with that electric power. Without the correct electric power, electrical equipment may fail prematurely or malfunction.
