COMMON ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS?

• Burned Circuit Boards..

• Nuisance Tripping

“Unidentified Cause??”
 COMMON THINKING?
1. Voltage Fluctuation..
2. Short Circuit..
Should Conduct
Power Quality Analysis!
POWER QUALITY?
According to IEC, it is a set of parameters defining
the properties of the power supply as delivered to
the user in normal operating conditions in terms of
continuity of supply and characteristics of voltage
(magnitude, frequency, waveform).

NOISE
ELECTRICAL NOISE

By Definition:

Unwanted electrical signals that

produce undesirable effects in the
circuits of the control systems in
which they occur. [IEEE 1100]

We see waveform distortion!

WAVEFORM DISTORTION
defined as a steady-state deviation from an ideal sine
wave of power frequency

WHAT CAUSES DISTORTION?
Non-Linear
Linear Loads

1. Induction Motor 1. AC/DC Power Supply

2. Incandescent Bulb 2. Electronics Ballasts
3. Iron 3. UPS
4. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
