Power Quality
• Effects of bad power quality are not immediately obvious
• Bad power quality can come from anywhere
• Consequences could be severe (production loss)
• Power quality problems are a root cause:
Malfunction
Shutdown
Excessive energy cost
Decreased lifetime of equipment

Measurement Safety
• Example:
DMM fitted with low energy fuse used
incorrectly on a high energy circuit
• EN61010 is based on overvoltage transients, as
well as steady-state voltages.
• All instruments have to be tested by an
independent test house
• Each instrument must be marked with an
Overvoltage Category ( CAT I, II, III, IV )
• As well as a voltage level (300, 600, 1000 Volts)

EN61010 LV Directive
CAT IV “Origin of installation” Utility level and any outside
cable run, Electricity meters and primary connection
CAT III Distribution wiring, including “mains” bus, feeders
and branch circuits, permanently installed loads.
CAT II Receptacle outlet circuit, plug-in loads.
CAT I Protected electronic circuits.

Linear vs Non-Linear
Non-linear Commercial loads
generally come from:
• Computers and CRT’s
• Electronic Ballasts
• And other single phase office equipment
Non-linear Industrial loads generally come from:
• Welders
• Arc furnaces
• UPS and DC power supplies
• AC & DC Drives

Effects of Harmonics
• Current Harmonics create Voltage Distortion
• One of the major effects is to increase the current in a system
• Component Overheating. Motors, Generators, Transformers, wires will experience additional losses resulting in additional heat.
• Power Factor Capacitor issues, resonance, additional loading.
• Voltage Flat Topping
• Increased Utility current requirement.
For troubleshooting:
• Check the harmonics present
• Check for the levels of the harmonics
• Look for recognizable patterns

Distortion Effect
True RMS Measurement
True RMS / Harmonics
A True RMS meter calculates the effective
heating value of the distorted waveform.
This will include all harmonics.
“RMS” stands for root-mean-square.
Crest Factor = Peak Value / RMS Value
For a Sinewave, Crest Factor = 1.414
RMS

Peak value = 2.9 X RMS Value.
Crest Factor = 2.9

RMS vs Average Sensing
• True-RMS versus Average Sensing
Crest Factor = Peak Value / RMS Value
Sinewave = 1.414
Square wave = 1
• Professional Multimeters usually rated at CF <3
• High Quality units rated at CF of 6
• Power Quality Analyzer CF >11

What is the Power Factor
of a Non-Linear load?
Linear Load Power Factor Non-Linear Load Power Factor
No Current Distortion Includes the Effect of Current Distortion
PF = Watts/VA
or phase angle between
voltage and current
What about the Power Factor?
Power Factor with Harmonics
Total Power Factor = 𝑷𝑭 = 𝑷/𝑺, (includes Harmonics)
Cos φ (DPF) = 𝑷𝑭𝟏 = 𝑷/𝑺𝟏 = cos (angle between 𝑷 and 𝐒1 )
DPF = Displacement Power Factor (fundamental) Distortion Power Factor = 𝑷𝑭𝑫 = 𝑺𝟏/𝑺

• High energy, short term deviations or changes
from desired voltage level
• Unwanted electrical energy in AC power lines or
communication lines (a potential seeking a
pathway to ground)
• High voltages spikes
What are Transients?

Any switching that creates a spark
From outside the facility Lightning strike
Utility grid switching
Within the facility Motors
Large starters
Power factor correction capacitor banks
Air circuit breakers
Any inductive load as it switches on and off

1) Volts, Amps & Frequency
• Cause….. interference
• Difficult to capture
• Modern power quality analyzers purpose built for the job
• Envelope trigger
• Accurate real time stamping is essential

4) Transient Measurement
• Recording of upstream and downstream sags & swells can
indicate loads causing problems
Upstream Sag Downstream Sag
5) Sags & Swells
• The phase diagram gives a
quick indication of phase
relationships and balance
• In this example voltage
unbalance is very small, but
current unbalance is nearly
19%.
6) Unbalance
greater than 1 means that most people will perceive flicker in an incandescent
7) Flicker Measurements
• A reading greater than 1 means that
most people will perceive flicker in an
incandescent bulb
• Measurement
– Pst (1 min): Short-term flicker over 1
minute
– Pst: Short-term flicker over 10
minutes
– Plt: Long-term flicker over 2 hours
• Inrush Current Measurement
– Momentary peak of current
during switch on.
– Current clamps can capture
peak reading
– Analyzers can give time
measurement

Three Phase Inrush Measurement
8) Inrush
• Many power quality problems initially result in an
increase in temperature of components,
connectors, cables and machinery
• Infra red non contact measurement is the ideal
way to locate this type of problem
