Why Power Quality is study relevant in today’s day and time & How PMX does it best

Incentive is 3% now…and additionally a penalty has been levied…if power factor is not maintained

Power Quality refers to the characteristics of the power, or specifically the current and voltage, provided to the customer. The power is to be provided in clean sinusoidal waveforms at a frequency of 60Hz that does not contain sags or spikes, which allows the customer’s equipment to operate reliably.

Why is Power Quality Important

With the introduction and widespread use of sensitive electronic equipment, energy users have become much more aware and sensitive to transients and other power anomalies. Previously equipments were immune to short-term power fluctuations and did not project problems back into the utility’s system. Now with the introduction of nonlinear devices; harmonics are created which can affect the customer’s equipments. The utility is no longer just providing power to turn lights on and start motors. As a result there has been an increase of problems experienced by electrical end-users. To determine the source of these issues, there are available means for customers, utilities and consultants to easily monitor, record, and analyze the electric power. Based on the source of the problem, power treatment methods are available to cure or limit the problems.

PMX and Power Quality

Today industry is highly conscious of the need for energy management and power quality improvement to save energy costs, reduce failures and improve productivity. To enable such customers who would like to get immediate benefit of measurement at various power flow points at their works. PMX has been offering PQ Study Services and offers sophisticated Load Managers along with experienced personnel to measure power, energy and power quality parameters and submit a report on the same to help them in their endeavor to manage energy costs and improve power quality. Power Quality Analysis Services provided by PMX identifies disturbances produced from the electric utility system or within your facility. We perform power system recreations and power quality analysis for total facility power systems or for individual loads utilizing state of the art circuit analysis and imitation software. Our expert engineers will advise lucrative measures to decrease the number and harshness of these disturbances. Deprived power quality can impact production processes and system components particularly sensitive electronic equipment. Contact Power Matrix Solutions Today.
