Understanding the Importance of Power Quality Testing

Power Quality Testing is a very common topic in the industry right now, and one that is becoming increasingly critical to ensure the efficient use of electrical energy. “Why? Is it really so important?” you may be asking. Yes! The use of power meters can help in reducing energy losses and contribute to saving the environment!

Let’s start from the beginning. The “power quality” defines a set of limits that allow electrical systems to operate in their intended manner without significant loss of performance or product life. Power quality may be described by a set of parameters such as:

  • Continuity of service
  • Transient voltages and currents
  • Harmonic content in waveforms
  • Variation in voltage magnitude

You see, power quality testing is essential for ensuring the efficient generation, distribution and use of electrical energy. Without the proper power quality, an electrical device may malfunction, fail prematurely, or simply not operate. Clearly, that’s not good at all! Inefficiencies in the power delivery and usage could be compromised, leading to wastage, without a power quality test done. This isn’t good either.

When you want to avoid the potentially devastating results mentioned above, you need a power quality analyzer. Of course, not just any tester will do. Power Sight offer a range of solutions for power quality testing in the field. Please explore our power quality testing products and you are sure to find the best solution for you. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-925-944-1212 or sales@powersight.com.
