power quality study and harmonic analysis
A power quality study and harmonic analysis helps ensure smooth, reliable electrical energy identifying the source and nature of these disturbances. Sabs power quality studies and harmonic analyses identify grounding errors, harmonic distortions, and other issues that reduce the reliability of your power system. Our experts rapidly assess problems by examining harmonics, load flow, and power factor. Once the nature of the disturbances or operating conditions is understood, we identify solutions that reduce total system loading and ensure optimal system performance.
Mission-critical facilities are especially vulnerable to power quality problems such as voltage dips, spikes, surges or short interruptions. Common causes of these problems include lightning strikes, improper wiring and grounding, load variations, switching operations, and non-linear load characteristics. If not addressed, data center reliability is diminished as power quality problems can lead to malfunction, unexpected shutdown, or premature failure of critical infrastructure
Benefits:
- Improve power system quality
- Increase critical system availability and reliability
- y Improve operating efficiency
Our power quality and harmonic analysis includes:
Visual, Mechanical, and Electrical Inspections
Vertiv™ engineers perform thorough visual, mechanical, and electrical inspections to analyze your electrical infrastructure and identify critical points for power monitoring.
Data Collection and Monitoring
Our engineers install power quality monitoring equipment at key points in your system and collect data over a pre-determined period, covering appropriate time windows relative to your needs. The data helps us determine the integrity of your grounding system and identify important power quality characteristics.
Data Analysis
Power quality is a multidimensional and complex measurement. Our NETA-certified experts evaluate your data center's electrical infrastructure by carefully analyzing your power and harmonics data. By referencing several standards from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers such as IEEE 519, 1100, 1159, 1346, 493 and 446, we look for the root causes of power problems. We then provide recommendations for isolating and eliminating those issues in order to improve power quality.
Comprehensive Report
Following analysis, you will receive a comprehensive, full-featured summary that identifies critical monitoring points. It includes detailed data records and analysis of results. Our report also includes recommendations for isolating and mitigating power problems such as using special transformers and power conditioning equipment.
