Power Quality
Sophisticated
motors, drives and other electrical devices in today’s workplace require a high
level of power stability. When dealing with sensitive, high-tech equipment, even
the slightest disruption in electrical service can result in costly production
delays.
If your operations suffer from unpredictable power disturbances that result in
downtime, lost data, equipment damage or other adverse outcomes, we can help.
Our Power Quality service will:
- Identify electrical problems at your facility
- Determine the causes
- Recommend cost-effective solutions
When motors stall, circuit breakers trip, lights flicker or computers lock up,
it could be signaling a power quality issue within your facility.
Many power-related operating problems originate from the customer’s side of the
meter. Most minor issues can be solved quickly and simply. Others more subtle in
nature may require more in-depth analysis. Whatever the case, our
community-owned utility is here to assist.
If you are experiencing an energy-related problem, give us a call. We’ll meet
with you to gather the facts and discuss your concerns. An energy engineer from
our power supplier, WPPI Energy, will use the best technology available to
identify the problem. We’ll inspect your facility inside and out, monitor your
equipment and conduct readings to help pinpoint the source.
We’ll develop a plan to collect the data needed to improve the electrical
performance of your operations. Using sophisticated monitoring equipment, our
power quality specialist will analyze the data and discuss various approaches to
solving your power quality issue.
In circumstances where you may be experiencing problems as a result of
disturbances on our system, we’ll keep you informed as we work to quickly remedy
the situation.
When the problem is rooted within your facility, we will assist your staff or
electrical contractor in devising a plan to correct the matter. Or, if you need
help identifying someone to do the work, we can even provide a list of qualified
experts in the area.
Even if you are not currently experiencing power quality problems but would
simply like more information on power quality issues for planning purposes,
consider giving us a call. We have useful information available at no cost to
you, as well as other resources that you may wish to use or purchase.
