Ensure Voltage Quality – The Key to Stable Production and Reduced Energy Costs
Dear Readers,
Invisible. Silent. Expensive.
A phantom is at work in your facility every single day – completely unnoticed. It drives up your energy costs and threatens the stability of your production. Are you ready to track it down before it further weakens your bottom line?
Power disturbances, production downtimes, and rising energy costs present major challenges for companies. Insufficient voltage quality leads to inefficient energy use, additional costs, and critical interruptions. For electrical engineering departments and grid operators, this means constant troubleshooting – because they must ensure both supply reliability and efficiency at the same time. The demand for intelligent Power Quality and Grid Monitoring solutions has never been greater than it is today.
Why Poor Voltage Quality Sabotages Your Success
Due to the energy transition and the increasing use of modern power electronics, our electrical grid is becoming more complex—and more vulnerable. Various types of disturbances can severely affect sensitive production equipment, IT systems, and control devices. Typical examples include:
- Voltage sags: Short, severe drops in voltage that can bring machines to a standstill.
- Harmonics: Distorted current and voltage waveforms caused by nonlinear loads – leading to overheating and malfunctions in machines and equipment.
- Flicker: Rapid, visible voltage fluctuations that not only disturb lighting but also affect sensitive devices.
- Overvoltages: Brief, extreme voltage spikes that can damage or destroy electronics.
The consequences? Far more than just annoyances:
- Machine downtime & data loss lead to production delays and risk to valuable data.
- Damage to operational equipment causes unplanned repairs and rising costs.
- Loss of competitiveness due to inefficient processes and increasing energy expenses.
