SYNOPSIS

Power quality is a concern in the design of electrical installations (Wiring), and electrical and electronic equipment since the invention of transistor in 1948, and explodes into major challenges with the break speed introduction of modern micro–controller based electronic equipment. Good power quality allows electrical and electronic equipment to function as its intended design; especially performance, life expectancy and life cycle cost. This seminar shall overview the categories of power quality, their causes, effects on electrical installation and equipment, and practical mitigation techniques.
