Power
System Analysis is a technique employed by Metricab
Power Engineering Ltd in which a multitude
of power measurements are analysed and recorded to identity
any type of disturbance to which a supply could be subjected.
Capable
of analysing three-phase systems as well as single-phase
systems,
very little is omitted from our spectrum. Frequency, VAR,
VA, VOLT (true RMS), AMPS (true RMS), Current Crest Factor
and more readings are available at the touch of a button.
As our modern
equipment is portable and manufactured from insulated materials,
if necessary it can be connected to a panel and left to
monitor
a supply system for several weeks, without affecting the
circuits or causing disturbance to the system.
Commonly
used to detect problems in distribution network systems, clients
regularly employ our services and equipment on the following:
Measuring harmonic distortion on voltage and current waveforms
on all types of equipment.
Measuring
efficiency of motor control centres.
Verifying
anticipated energy savings of lighting retrofits.
Measuring
power factor, determining if a system is capacitive or inductive.
Diagnosing
power related equipment performance problems.
Diagnosing
false tripping of breakers.
Detecting,
recording and analysing transient effects on critical loads.
