What is Power Quality? Milind Mehetre

Any power problem due to :

voltage, current, or frequency deviations that results


in failure or mal-operation of electrical
equipment

Evolution of Electric Power Scenario:

• Technological developments have introduced Electronic


Components in Distribution Circuits. These are Non Linear in nature

• Non Linear Electronic Components:


VFDs
PLCs
Rectifiers/Invertors
SMPS
are sensitive to Voltage deviations and also induce Current / Voltage
Waveform distortions ( In other words Harmonics).

• This leads to failure or mal-operation of electrical equipment termed


as “Poor Power Quality”

Poor Power Quality keep s electrical equipments under stress

Which Factors Affect Power Quality? Milind Mehetre

Most common phenomena affecting Power Quality:

• Voltage Surges
• Voltage Sags
• Transients
• Spikes
• Voltage fluctuations
• Inrush Current and Starting Current effects
• Substation switching, Lightening

In simple words, sudden voltage changes within few mili-


seconds and sustained over/under voltage beyond specified
limit affects Power Quality.

Modern Equipments therefore demand steady Voltage without


any disturbance or deviation

Effects of Poor Power Quality:

Effects on Machines:
• Frequent Breakdowns
• Failures of Electronic Components
• Resetting/ of Software Programs on Machines

Effects on Production:

• Loss of Productivity and productive Man Hours.


• Frequent Reprocessing of Programs and Settings
• Product Quality Deviations and Increase in Rejections.

Effects on Maintenance:

• High Spares and Replacement Cost


• High Inventory Carrying Costs
• Maintenance Man Power under Undue Stress.

How to Improve Power Quality:

Electronic components are sensitive to voltage fluctuations


and minimum voltage disruption of 20 mili-seconds.

• The present technological advancements therefore demand


superfast voltage corrections in 20 mili-seconds which is based
on PWM Technology.

• Proper Grounding and Maintaining Proper Neutral to Ground


Voltage is essential for Safety of Equipments and Operators.

• Mitigation of Harmonics with Harmonic Filters, Chokes
