Harmonics in an electrical current are one indication of poor power quality. They cause overheating in electrical components and can damage sensitive equipment, impacting your manufacturing process and assets. Poor power quality can result in:
- Premature equipment failure
- Equipment turning on or off unexpectedly
- Erratic equipment performance
- Unexpected energized metal—panels or components carrying a charge that shouldn’t be, resulting in a safety issue
- Overheating of motors or other conducting equipment
If you're experiencing such problems, Emerson technicians can help identify the cause by monitoring your system for harmonics, voltage dips and other disturbances.
