Saturday, April 27 at 5:41 pm – The San Francisco Bay Area experienced a minor grid voltage sag throughout the region.
Voltage sagged to 83% of normal for 4.02 cycles, about 1/10 of a second. Utility field personnel discovered blown fuses from potentially failed capacitor units which caused a fault. This grid voltage sag was captured by RECIPE Analytics.
PQ event investigation & root cause analysis
No other energy intelligence solution shows the whole picture of your facility’s energy.
Incidents like this can have impacts on your facility’s production and impact the bottom line. View the real-time quality of service your facility is receiving from the utility. Event Logs include information on power grid voltage sags/swell, duration, magnitude, and transient harmonic distortion (THD).
Power Quality Events (PQ Events) occur for many reasons:
- Is your facility capable of knowing when this type of event has occurred?
- Did this event impact your facility?
APT 4 Power Quality Monitoring
Being prepared with the addition of Power Quality Meters and an Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) will allow your facility to see the unseen. The ability to see the effects and reactions your facility has at a Power Quality event will give your team control of the unseen.
APT provides solutions to identify failures like this as they happen and notify the people who need to know faster and with better information – reducing or avoiding impact. If this information is useful, please subscribe to APT’s power quality blog to be notified when this happens in the future.
