Power Quality Study process:

Using a Fluke 434 Power Quality Analyzer Arc Flash Advisor Crews will:

Visit the facility to attach a set of power monitoring CT’s and VT’s – This may require de-energising the test point.
Provide Frontline Troubleshooting – Quickly diagnose problems and get your operations back online

Capture Power Quality Measures

Magnitude – Long term level voltage
Unbalance – Condition of the 3 phase power system and phase angle
Harmonics – Peak and Total harmonic distortion
Flicker – periodic fluctuation in voltage

Capture Transient Disturbances

Dip (Sag) A momentary reduction in voltage
Swell A momentary increase of the voltage relative to nominal
Transient A very brief ( <0.5 cycle) fluctuation in the voltage

Return to remove the power monitoring equipment
