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”

Direction of Harmonics & Flicker

Published by Arbiter Systems, Inc.  Enabling Tomorrow’s Technology Today Overview As regulatory authorities impose ever-stricter requirements for power quality, utilities increasingly want to know which customer is imposing harmonics and flicker on the utilities power system. As a result, we are often asked if we can determine the “direction” of harmonic power flow, and whatContinue reading “Direction of Harmonics & Flicker”
