Power Quality Monitoring
Description
The client had lost one of the key 1.5MW, 6.6kV High-Lift pump motors resulting in R3.8 Mil repair costs.
They asked Lithendo Consulting to commission a Power Quality Monitoring study to assess the quality of power received from the supply utility. As part of the study, Lithendo Consulting recorded and analyzed the following variables:
- Harmonic Content from the Voltage Signal (Fundamental to 31)
- Harmonic Content from the Current Signal (Fundamental to 31)
- Power Factor
- Load Balance
- Real, Reactive and Apparent Power consumption
- Transients
- Flicker
- Phase Sequence
- K-Factor
