A good power quality reference is UL Standard 1449, second edition that describes performance specifications for surge protection devices.
Power Quality Guidelines for Energy Efficient Device Application
This guidebook has three primary objectives:
- To improve guidelines for minimizing any undesirable power quality impacts of energy saving technologies;
- To provide an understanding of the energy savings potential of power quality related technologies; and,
- To provide guidelines for evaluating “black box” technologies.
