What is a Power Quality Audit?
A Power Quality Audit is a comprehensive evaluation of your electrical distribution system, measuring key parameters that influence stability, efficiency, and reliability. Our audit follows industry standards such as IEEE 1100, IEC 61558, EN61000, and others, ensuring your facility’s power systems meet global benchmarks.
Power Quality Parameters We Monitor
Our Power Quality Audit Covers All Critical Parameters to Ensure Complete Electrical Health:
- Voltage & Frequency Stability – Identify fluctuations that can affect equipment performance
- Wire Gauge Verification – Ensure proper sizing to prevent overheating and energy loss
- Thermal Temperature Monitoring – Detect hotspots that indicate potential failures
- Total Harmonic Distortion (Voltage & Current) – Assess distortion levels impacting sensitive loads
- Power Factor & Displacement Factor – Measure efficiency and reactive power usage
- Load & Neutral Current Analysis – Identify unbalanced or excess current issues
- Active, Reactive & Apparent Power Measurement – Understand true power consumption patterns
- Surge, Swell, Sag & Frequency Deviations – Detect disturbances causing operational risks
- High-Voltage Transient Impulses – Capture damaging spikes from switching or lightning
- Flicker Level & Crest Factor – Measure fluctuations affecting lighting and equipment stability
- Phase Voltage Unbalance – Identify uneven load distribution across phases
- Neutral-to-Ground Potential Differences – Ensure safety and compliance with grounding standards
