Power Quality – the broader definition
Ensuring the continuity of supply Enhancing the electrical parameters Optimizing the commercial quality
Consumers can utilize electricity from The technical shape of voltage waveform and The speed and accuracy with which
the supplying network efficiently, without all electrical parameters are according to interruptions complains requests
interference or interruption. Suppliers can specifications and defined limits are handled
generate power consistently over a planned
life expectancy i.e., Pure sine-wave i.e., Fast response of maintenance teams
i.e., less number of interruptions/year
Good power quality is a measure of the availability, quality and efficiency of the electricity
being supplied and utilized on a consistent basis

Power quality challenges
Causes Consequences
01
Low power factor ‒ Loads with high reactive power demand ‒ Increased losses
• (Induction motors, furnaces, heaters, ‒ Reduced capacity utilization of network
fluorescent bulbs etc.) ‒ Overeating of equipment
‒ Machines (motors, transformers etc.) running ‒ Penalties from utility
at partial or no load
02
Harmonics
‒ ‘Non-linear’ loads ‒ Excessive wear to equipment, leading to
• (drives, UPS, SMPS, fluorescent and LED lighting potential failure
etc.) ‒ Incorrect operation of protection devices
‒ Home and office appliances ‒ Malfunction of other equipment
‒ Penalties from utility
03
Voltage variation ‒ Fast switching loads ‒ Stress on equipment, leading to potential
• (Cranes, hoists, elevators, welding supply boards, failure
rail locomotives, EV chargers etc.) ‒ Power outage, causing revenue losses
‒ Connection / Disconnection of large loads or
generating station
04
Load imbalance ‒ Large single-phase loads ‒ Stress on network and equipment, leading to
• (Cranes, hoists, elevators, welding supply boards, potential failure
rail locomotives, EV chargers etc.) ‒ Power outage, causing revenue loss
‒ Failure of one phase in a 3-phase network
