Power Testing

Stay up and running with our data acquisition systems! Our systems test the quality of your power and help you better understand situations such as power failures and IT equipment data corruption. A&D will help your business avoid unplanned downtime that can be very costly and difficult to overcome.

PREVENTING ABNORMAL OUTAGES

Power Quality Management

Digital oscillographic recorders provide power quality management and help determine the causes of abnormal shutdowns of production facilities and IT equipment data corruption.

Power quality deterioration is linked to data loss on home and office computing devices, abnormal outages of production equipment at factories as well as abnormal outage, operation and heating of electronic devices. It is possible to not only monitor power fluctuations in main power systems (flicker testing and instant monitoring) but also read the abnormalities of various power substation facilities from the waveform with a digital oscillographic recorder.

Transformers, motors and power units suffering from poor power quality overheat leading to deterioration in performance of electrical instruments and equipment and in worse cases fires may occur. A digital oscillographic recorder works as measure against these problems.

IEEE Recommended Practice for Monitoring Electrical Power Quality

Most unexplained equipment failure, downtime, software corruption or data corruption is due to power failure. For a detailed explanation of power failure please refer to IEEE standard 1159-1995 “IEEE Recommended Practice for Monitoring Electrical Power Quality.” It outlines standard terminology and phenomena for the general classification of power failures, causes, effect on critical load and protection of equipment.
