Power Quality!

Before we point our fingers at the utility, let's first consider what our energy efficient and technology improvements have to do with the Premature Failure of Fluorescent & LED Lights, Elevator Entrapments, HOT Electrical Rooms and Noisy Transformers, VFD Trips/Failures to Tripping Electrical Breakers, etc (see list above).

We have forever changed the way we use electricity in our buildings and homes. We even have changed the way electricity is being brought (PV and Renewables) to our buildings and homes.

Come hear our speakers expose why the Quality of our Power WILL NEVER BE THE SAME and how we can Prepare, Repair and Protect our Facilities against those “Silent PQ Killers”.

Who Should Come: 4 hour Deeper PQ Sessions & Q/A

Architects, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Facility Engineers/Managers, Installing Contractors, Lighting Contractors, Elevator Contractors/Consultants, Suppliers and Manufacture Representatives, Utility, Building Maintenance Providers, VFD providers, Energy Service Companies, etc.

A power quality problem is manifested by the interruption or distortion of the ideal 60-hertz sine wave. These power quality problems can be grouped into the following categories:

• Temporary Interruption
• Long-Term Outage
• Momentary Interruption
• Sag or Undervoltage
• Swell or Overvoltage
• Transient, Impulse, or Spike
• Notch
• Noise
• Harmonic Distortion

With the proper application of power conditioning equipment and proper wiring and grounding, most of these power quality problems can be eliminated.

"100% of the buildings I have consulted have power quality issues, especially harmonics. PQ problems occur on those properties that do not have installed equipment that is robust enough to ride through those issues. We are all guilty in considering energy saving technologies with not once considering whether that product affects the electrical grid within the building. Elevator systems are the number one facility source plagued with pq issues. ", says Les Taniyama, IFMA-HI.
