The age of electronics is here to stay. From personal computers to Local Area Networks and adjustable speed drives, electronics have revolutionised commercial and industrial operations.

Power quality is becoming more and more important to your business. Studies have revealed power problems in the USA in the 1990’s have cost up to $35 – $50 billion annually. The EU has identified power quality problems as a major cost to EU industry. In the past the loads were simple in operation e.g. heaters or simple motors & some switches. Nowadays loads are electronically controlled, using electronic components which are much more sensitive and susceptible to voltage change. Many production and IT systems consist of a large number of interdependent components. If one fails they all fail (the weakest link prevails).

Power disturbances, inadequate wiring and grounding can disrupt your operations, adversely affect your business and eat into your bottom line.

Power quality is the concept of powering and grounding sensitive (electronic) equipment in a manner that is suitable for the reliable operation of that equipment.

ESBIE can provide specialised power quality audits to report on areas such as voltage sags, voltage transients, power outages, harmonics, voltage swell and electrical noise. The audit will identify where there may be an issue with power quality and will provide your management team with a presentation of the findings and our recommendations.
