About Power Quality Health Check

Power Quality Health Check is a standardise report designed to provide a consistent power quality report across a variety of meters including Sonel, Elspec, Fluke and Chauvin Arnoux.

Utilise your exisiting loggers and analysers

Power Quality Expert will analyse the results from your meter and produce our standardised Power Quality Health Check report.  The report will present your measurements, including voltage, current, power as well as power quality performance indicators.  Trend graphs for clear visual indiction of the voltage and current profiles, present alongside voltage and current harmonic profile analysis with simple colour coded Pass/Advisory/Investigate indicators to easily highlight potential issues.

The Report

Power Quality Performance Indicators

Our indicators give a simple overview of your installation power quality health.  We look at the nominal voltage, frequency and flicker along with specific harmonic frequencies to give a quick overview of the power quality before additional assessment is made inside the report.

Electrical Measurements

The minimum and maximum values of voltage and current are presented in a simple table format.  This information gives a clear indication of the stability of the voltage and scope for optimisation to the a nominal 230V.  The current measurements show the maximum load per phase to help identify potential scope for additional loading.  The minimal loading, ofter overlooked, can help see where the base load can be reduced to make saving on energy consumption.

Harmonic Profile

Harmonic analysis of the voltage and current is made up to the 15th order.  These harmonics typically help to identify areas where distortion is present.  Levels of harmonic are assessed against BS:EN, IEC and IEEE standards and are colour coded to easily indicate where potential frequencies are present that need further investigation or monitoring.

Trend Graphs

Voltage and current trend graphs quickly show events such as voltage outages or current peaks during the survey.  The voltage trend is presented against nominal limits alongside a current profile indicating peak and minimum loading.

Commentary

An overview of the results in included, giving recommendations on any areas of interest in the report such as unbalanced loading, voltage stabilisation and harmonic distortions.  For members of the Power Quality Clinic, an additional follow up consultation is provided to discuss the reporting commentary and help review any power quality solutions, like active or passive harmonic filters, can be applied to improve an installations power quality performance.
