Power Quality Audit

Detailed power quality technical and economic analysis data for faster and informed decision-making.

Power Quality is the electric power that drives an electrical device, and the device's ability to function properly with the electricity provided. Poor voltage waveforms can lead to unnecessary and costly disruptions for electronically controlled equipment.


An in-depth Power Quality Audit helps businesses identify potential Power Quality issues, take corrective measures to counter these issues, to prevent operations downtime in the future when issues arise.

Why Power Quality Audit?

There are several issues that can have an effect on the power quality of your site:


  • Unexplained electrical faults
  • Power spikes
  • Equipment failure
  • Nuisance tripping
  • Electrical noise
  • Extended power interruption
  • Voltage sags and surges
  • Lightning damage

What to Expect From a Power Quality Audit

An in-depth Power Quality Audit by our Power Quality experts will involve:


  1. Assessing your facilities, including wiring, loading, line balance, polarity grounding, harmonic distortion and more.
  2. Our experts will analyse the detailed findings and present a full written and graphic report that has all technical and economic data options, so you have all the information you need to make an informed decision to solve your Power Quality problem.


For optimal results, it is recommended that Power Quality Audit is conducted when the facility is operating at a minimum of 70% of the normal load.


Could you benefit from a Power Quality Audit? 


Any sector can benefit from a Power Quality Audit. Without clean, uniform power, your facility is more prone to premature equipment failure or outages.
