POWER QUALITY CHAPTER 6: POWER SOURCES<br />

6.3.4 COMMON POWER QUALITY PROBLEM REMEDIES<br />

The table below generalizes some common remedies of power quality problems. A power quality<br />

engineer may be required to help resolve power quality problems.<br />

TABLE 6-3 COMMON POWER QUALITY PROBLEM REMEDIES<br />

Problem Common Remedy<br />

Frequency Deviation 1<br />

Voltage Sags (or dips) • Corrective wiring<br />

• Relocation of critical loads<br />

• Power conditioners<br />

• UPS systems<br />

• Report problem to the utility if the frequency deviation is measured on the AC<br />

utility<br />

• Make corrective repairs to onsite generator if the frequency deviation is<br />

measured on the generator<br />

Voltage Swells • Surge Protective Devices (SPD)<br />

• Power conditioners<br />

• UPS systems<br />

Transients • Surge Protective Devices<br />

• Filters<br />

Total Harmonic<br />

Distortion (> 5%) 2<br />

• Isolating the noise<br />

• Proper grounding<br />

• Power conditioners<br />

• Moving loads away from noise generators<br />

• UPS with a true sinusoidal wave<strong>for</strong>m output (typically found with IGBT<br />

(insulated gate bipolar transistor) rectifier technology<br />

1. Frequency variations are much more likely to occur when equipment is powered by an<br />

onsite generator, versus the AC utility (IEEE STD 1159-R2001).<br />

2. See IEEE STD 519, Recommended Practices <strong>and</strong> Requirements <strong>for</strong> Harmonic Control in<br />

Electric Power Systems <strong>for</strong> additional in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />
