Introduction Power quality refers to the characteristics of electric power supplied to end users, particularly its ability to ensure the proper functioning of electrical devices. With the increasing use of sensitive equipment such as programmable logic controllers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and computers in modern industries, the tolerance for power disturbances such as voltage dips, swell...
Power quality metering for industrial efficiency In today's competitive industrial landscape, ensuring an uninterrupted, stable, and efficient power supply is essential. Power quality issues such as voltage fluctuations, harmonic distortion, and poor power factor can lead to significant operational downtime, costly equipment repairs, and reduced energy efficiency. Power quality metering is a criti...
Power Quality Challenges: An Invisible Barrier to Economic Growth Electricity access has made significant strides across the globe, and more people than ever are connecting to the power grid. However, even in regions where access is available, many face a more insidious issue: poor power quality. This issue, which is often less visible than frequent power outages, presents a major challenge...
Guide to Selecting Active Harmonic Filters In the realm of modern electrical power systems, the significance of active harmonic filters (AHFs) cannot be overstated. They are the guardians of power quality, ensuring that electrical equipment operates smoothly by effectively counteracting harmonic distortions. When it comes to making a purchase decision for an AHF, a multitude of critical fac...
Poor power quality — characterized by fluctuations and/or persistently low or high voltages — has far-reaching consequences and should receive much more attention. Like lack of access, poor power quality holds back economic growth. But it is much harder to track and its prevalence is unknown because systems to measure it are not in place. We installed sensors across Nigeria to assess p...
Mitigating Harmonics in Frequency Converters with AHF Frequency converters (VFDs) are indispensable components in modern industrial systems. These devices control the speed and torque of electric motors, enabling greater flexibility and efficiency in operations. However, the use of frequency converters often results in harmonic distortions, which can significantly impact the performance and...
Introduction In today’s technology-driven industries, clean and stable power is the backbone of productivity. Harmonics—distortions caused by non-linear loads like variable frequency drives (VFDs), servers, and renewable energy systems—threaten equipment longevity, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance. At YT Electric, we engineer advanced power quality solutions to t...
Enhancing Power Quality in UPS Systems Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems are essential for maintaining continuous operations in environments such as data centers, hospitals, and industrial facilities. However, the non-linear loads common to UPS systems can introduce harmonic distortions. These distortions not only degrade power quality but may also lead to equipment malfunctions. Y...
