Understanding your facility’s power quality goes beyond occasional assessments; it requires the right infrastructure to continuously monitor and gather accurate data. Proper metering installation is crucial for obtaining the reliable data needed for effective power quality analysis. Without it, even the most skilled technicians can miss underlying issues or inefficiencies in your power system.
Read MoreA recent “power quality 9-1-1 gave me the privilege of witnessing an extraordinary display of 'integrity over profit’ by a salesperson in an industry where such virtues are often overshadowed by the pursuit of financial gain.
Read MoreWith the rapid advancement of technology and the growing concerns over electrical grid reliability, the importance of Power Quality (PQ) management in modern industry cannot be overstated. Amidst the complex interplay of operational demands and the quest for heightened productivity and efficiency, the necessity for robust PQ management increasingly stands out.
Read MoreIn the realm of industrial operations, where large, power-intensive machinery is the backbone of productivity, the distinction between power quality issues and equipment malfunction is not just technical—it’s financially significant.
Read MoreIn today’s fast-paced, digitally-driven world, the continuity of your business operations is more critical than ever. Every second of downtime can equate to lost revenue, dissatisfied customers, and a tarnished reputation.
Read MoreIn an era where grid reliability is increasingly unpredictable and the cost of downtime can be devastating, the imperative for businesses to navigate through challenges of inefficiency and poor Power Quality (PQ) is more pressing than ever.
Read MoreI love it for its simplicity and the truth that lies behind the words and symbolism. Yes, solar and wind offer vast potential for harnessing clean energy, and we must embrace that opportunity.
Read MoreThe importance of electrical grid reliability often goes unnoticed until issues arise, impacting the operational integrity and efficiency of systems and processes. The assumption that our electrical infrastructure is sufficiently robust because it provides uninterrupted access to basic utilities is a dangerous oversight that can lead to significant operational and financial challenges.
Read MoreSometimes, even encasing a data centre within a 2-foot-thick concrete vault isn’t enough to prevent microscopic intruders from fouling-up the system. One of my more remarkable cases involved just that, at a carbide mine in Ontario. They had been experiencing a series of equipment failures, leaving a trail of incidents pointing to a possible, yet perplexing, cause.
The widespread failure of massive LED lighting systems is becoming increasingly costly and worrisome. I responded to a group post last week about the crippling effect poor power quality is having on very expensive LED installs. It’s not only killing the lights themselves, it’s zapping the warranty and costing multiple thousands or hundreds of thousands to replace and reinstall.

The shift towards LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting is reshaping the landscape of commercial and industrial lighting, celebrated for its efficiency, durability, and eco-friendliness. Yet, beneath the surface of these advancements, the critical aspect of power quality often remains hidden until it adversely affects the system. T
