MET Groups findings indicate that many regions experience, fluctuations and disturbances in power quality, which can lead to equipment, malfunctions and increased energy costs. The data highlights specific areas where dirty power is more prominent., allowing for targeted interventions.
By raising awareness about these issues, MET Groups aims to promote better infrastructure and practices to enhance the reliability of electrical supplies ultimately benefiting both consumers and businesses.
The signs of dirty power in your facility can include:
Flickering or dimming lights (fluctuations in brightness)
Frequent circuit breaker trips for no reason (MCBs, ACBs, MCCBs)
Equipment, malfunctions (motors failing, HVAC plant & machines breaking unexpectedly)
Unusual noises (humming noise when high Amp demand & vibration to loose panels have been ruled out)
Increased energy bills,(insufficient power usage due to dirty power)
Overheating appliances, (devices can overheat due to inconsistent voltage levels)
Interference with communication devices (phones & internet signals)
Recognising these signs early cannot mitigate the impacts of power on electrical systems.
Equipment malfunction (appliances & equipment may behave erratically or fail to operate properly)
If you have Harmonic Filter units fitted when did you last have them checked? MET Group attend many installations where the Harmonic filters are no longer operational due to lack of inspections and maintenance.
MET Group are experts in Harmonic Power Quality Issues and have identified the above issues in many facilities by a snap shot in time date or over time with programmed time data collection setups.
