Preventing Poor Power Quality

A proactive approach can prevent costly PQ issues before they arise.

Power quality (PQ) is a crucial reliability and cost issue for today’s electrical facilities. At EC&M, we know how important this subject is for our readers. We frequently feature PQ articles on our website or in the print issues, and we have a monthly newsletter dedicated to power quality content (PQ NewsBeat, which you can sign up for here). Poor power quality and unaddressed issues can lead to costly mistakes, which is why it’s important for electrical professionals to understand and manage those systems to maintain reliable, high-performance electrical systems.

The articles collected in this e-book examine power quality from both practical and economic perspectives. They look at different ways poor power quality can impact electrical facilities and lead to significant issues. They also offer guidance and practical strategies for maintenance and management that aim to prevent costly PQ issues before they arise.

The subject matter experts featured in this e-book cover a range of strategies from proactive maintenance and diagnostic tools to considerations for system design. Some of the authors cover general strategies; others dive into specific concepts like understanding how to prevent ground loops. And while many of the articles are about prevention, this e-book also contains strategies for what to do when PQ issues arise without warning.

I hope this e-book will serve as a valuable resource for preventing costly power quality issues. Stay tuned for a companion e-book about power quality surveys and analysis, releasing later this year.
