PQ Analysis: Flicker, Transients and Noise

Published by testguy, November 23, 2019. Website: testguy.net Flicker, Transients and Noise Repetitive voltage reductions in lighting circuits can be detected by the human eye, a phenomena known as “flicker.” The term flicker refers to a very specific problem related to human perception of light produced by incandescent light bulbs, not necessarily general voltage fluctuations. Some commonContinue reading “PQ Analysis: Flicker, Transients and Noise”

The Importance of Good Power Quality

Published by Dr. Kurt Schipman & Dr. François Delincé , ABB Power Quality Products, Belgium ABSTRACT This paper explains the problems that are due to poor Power Quality in electrical systems and shows their possible financial consequences. Power Quality is characterized by parameters that express harmonic pollution, reactive power, and load unbalance. The best possibleContinue reading “The Importance of Good Power Quality”

Voltage Disturbances Flicker Measurement

Published by Zbigniew Hanzelka & Andrzej Bie´n, AGH University of Science and Technology, October 2005 Flicker Measurement Introduction The power supply network voltage varies over time due to perturbations that occur in the processes of electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. Interaction of electrical loads with the network causes further deterioration of the electrical power quality.Continue reading “Voltage Disturbances Flicker Measurement”
