Poor power quality is expensive. It can push up your energy costs from excess power usage and in penalties for poor power factor or high peak demands imposed by your power company.

It can take a toll on equipment too, increasing the cost of maintenance and repairs. Premature equipment failures or damage caused by power problems are expensive, the cost of replacing the equipment, cost of downtime and the associated labour costs.

Do you know you have power quality problems?

You’ll easily recognise the symptoms: flickering lights, power outages, nuisance tripping of breakers, PLCs and variable speed drives. Equipment such as motors and transformers will run hot or noisy. Some problems are more subtle such as poor computer performance, causing lock-ups and data loss. All of these problems cause additional costs not budgetted for.

Usually power quality problems originate within your facility. Large equipment starting-up or shutting down, improper wiring and grounding, overloaded circuits or harmonics are just a few of the culprits. Less than 20 percent of power problems originate with the utility transmission and distribution systems. Lighting strikes, equipment failure, accidents, and weather conditions all adversely affect the utility. Neighboring businesses, and normal operation of utility equipment can also affect the quality of power delivered to your facility.

City Electrcians supply or rent and install monitoring equipment that will allow you to make informed decisions to plan for repair or minimisation of the cause of the additional costs.
