| "We Wrote the Book" |
Recently, the Northwest Power Quality Service Center, located in Portland, OR, hired Power Systems Engineering, P.S. to write, create, and publish a guide. This booklet is titled, "Power Quality and Power Factor Correction."
This brochure was developed to provide commercial/industrial facility personnel with a straightforward guide for the specification, purchase, installation, and operation of power factor correction equipment in the vicinity of harmonic-producing loads. When used properly, it can help you avoid the impacts of related power quality problems on plant equipment.
The guide contains the following sections:
- Introduction
- PQ Problems Related to Power Factor Correction
- Harmonics and resonance
- Linear and non-linear loads
- Harmonic current flow
- System resonance
- Switching transients
- Voltage rise
- Planning for new installations
- Mitigation techniques
- Glossary
- Annotated reference list
This brochure/booklet will be available by the end of June 2000 at the Northwest Power Quality Service Center (www.nwpq.com).
