Power Quality
The term 'good power quality' can be used to describe a power supply that is always available, always within voltage and frequency tolerances, and has a pure noise free sinusoidal wave shape.' Poor power quality' describes any supply that deviates from this ideal: whether or not the design is important depends on the purpose of the installation, the design of the equipment and the design of the installation. The cost of power quality problems can be very high and includes the cost of downtime, loss of customer confidence and, in some cases, equipment damage. these problems can be avoided by adopting copper intensive strategies at the outset or when considering upgrading of an installation.
