POWER QUALITY ANALYSERS AND LOGGERS

Power Quality Analysers and Loggers

Chauvin Arnoux power quality instruments enable simple and efficient recording and analysis to identify your power quality and energy efficiency problems. You can quickly and conveniently take measurements when and where you need to with Chauvin Arnoux power quality tools, whether you're looking for difficult-to-detect intermittent issues, identifying and fixing recurring problems or interested in carrying out load assessments to locate possible savings. The data about the operation of your electrical system collected can then be accessed through their compatible software.

What are the common power quality issues to look out for?
Parameters related to power quality include:
- Voltage fluctuation
- Harmonic distortion
- Voltage unbalance
- Voltage swells
- Flicker
- Transients
- Power factor
What are the consequences of poor power quality?

When the supply voltage becomes distorted, devices tend to draw non-sinusoidal current from the network which might be different than the sinusoidal voltage condition. This can result in technical problems like overheating, malfunction, premature failure on the devices. This non-sinusoidal current also might cause extra losses to various network components like cables and transformers.
Poor power quality often has significant financial consequences to the user of the affected electrical system, typically process plant industries.
