Understanding Harmonics, Voltage Sags, and Electrical Disturbances
Stable and reliable power is crucial to the modern electrical system. Whether it's at industrial manufacturing plants and power plants, commercial buildings or data centres, a sudden blow to the electrical system can affect equipment operation, increase operational inefficiencies, and cost the company valuable time. With the increasing dependence of companies on vulnerable electronic equipment, it is more important than ever to know about the common power quality problems. Harmonics, voltage sags, and transient disturbances can be a problem and may not be detected until it has an impact on operations. This is where Power quality analyzers and advanced Power quality monitoring solutions come into the picture to find, diagnose and fix electrical performance problems. What Are Harmonics in Electrical Systems? Harmonics are electrical distortions which are generated by non-linear loads in a power system. Harmonics are commonly generated when a device is operating, such as variable f...
