ABSTRACT

Power quality issues are continuing to become a greater concern, particularly to sensitive customers with critical operations. Measures can be taken to improve the power quality of a given circuit; however, the economic feasibility of the applications should be considered. As a result, the system compatibility must be examined to determine the behavior of a customer’s equipment within the electrical environment. A power quality investigation and an economic analysis can then determine what mitigation tactics are most effective and whether they should be applied.
