For owners and maintenance staff involved in manufacturing processes, poor power quality is becoming an increasing threat to maintaining production. The increased complexity of industrial processes
means there are also increases in harmonic distortion, voltage transients, spikes, sags, swells and low power factor. Such compromised power can go un-noticed until electrical equipment suffers damage
for what appears to be no apparent reason, forcing shutdowns and costly downtime.
However, with increased manufacturing complexity comes increased solutions to prevent problems and, as a result, power management systems are now becoming regarded as important components for
industrial and critical infrastructure installations.
