Reliability & Quality

Power Quality relates to the “purity” of the power that flows into the facility. Power quality incidents include sags, surges, transients, bugs and other “glitches.” These events usually have short durations (fractions of a second).

Power quality requirements are often driven by the customer’s equipment needs. Power quality performance may be impacted by neighboring customers, the power company or other equipment inside the customer’s facility. The solutions to power quality issues are highly customized and typically occur on the customer’s side of the utility meter. Some solutions include UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) and other systems that are designed for intermittent short-term support.
