Unipower – About Power Quality
Published by Unipower AB, Metallgatan 4C, 44132 Alingsås, Sweden. Email: info@unipower.se Power quality is a generic term for disturbance-free electricity supply. Deviation from voltage sinusoidal waveform (50 Hz), which may result in equipment being disturbed or damaged, is to be regarded as a power quality disturbance. This means that the more sensitive equipment you connect toContinue reading “Unipower – About Power Quality”

Choosing The Right Equipment
Published by Unipower AB, Metallgatan 4C, 44132 Alingsås, Sweden. Email: info@unipower.se What do you need to measure? Power quality is assessed based on a number of power quality parameters. Today’s instruments usually handle the most common parameters such as voltage, current, power, harmonics, voltage dips, flicker and transients. Often it is difficult to say in advanceContinue reading “Choosing The Right Equipment”
Container Harbour in Gothenburg
Published by Jonny Carlsson, Unipower AB, Case Study: Container Harbour in Gothenburg, Date: November 8th, 2010. http://www.unipower.se The most important problem was the sags that were caused by the container cranes. The cranes created a lot of high reactive power during the start of the lift procedure. The high currents caused high demand on the transformerContinue reading “Container Harbour in Gothenburg”
