Understanding Power Quality Problems © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 1 of 73 Objectives • This presentation has been adapted to NJATC Lesson 4-62. It’s intent is to give the student a basic understanding of Power Quality as describe in this lesson plan. – Describe the nature of several different types of powerrelated problems. – Identify the causes or source of many power related problems – List steps that can be used with different electrical equipment to minimize the equipment’s contribution to power-related problems. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 2 of 73 What is Power Quality Except for complete failure, most really don’t pay close attention to the power we are supplied. But if we were in the middle of an important document or key manufacturing process it would be more than a simple announce. A knowledge of power quality is necessary to identify and resolve electrical environmental problems © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 3 of 73 What is Power Quality With the emergence of the “Electronics Age” there has be a change in the requirement of our electrical distribution systems. Unlike traditional load, like lighting or motors, Sensitive loads are more susceptible to power disturbances. Electronic equipment requires a much more stable power source. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 4 of 73 Importance of Power Quality • Consequences of poor Power Quality can result in: – – – – Lost productivity Lost/corrupt data Damaged equipment Poor power efficiency • U.S. companies waste an estimated $26 billion on electrical power-related issues each year* *Electrical Contractor Magazine, “Surveying Power Quality Options” March 2000 © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 5 of 73 Power Quality • There is no absolute definition of power quality, but many define it as the degree to which both the utilization and the performance of electric power affects the performance of an electrical distribution system. • Organizations such as the IEEE -Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer and ANSI -American National Standards Institute are setting Stringent requirements for power Quality. – IEEE 519-81 Recommended limits on Harmonics – ANSI C84.1 Specification on normal voltage ratings and tolerances © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 6 of 73 Key Contributors • Power Factor – Measure of how efficiently Power is used • Disturbances – Momentary disruptions to the Electrical system • Harmonics – Integers of the Fundamental Frequency which have an effect on the electrical systems and loads © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 7 of 73 Power Quality • The NIST -National Institute of Standards and Technology publication NIST SP768 Shows that power disturbances can be defined in two categories, Steady State or Intermittent. – Steady state disturbances are Noise, Harmonics, long term Overvoltage or Undervoltage conditions. – Intermittent disturbances are Sages, Swells, Impulse, Transients, and interruption, © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 8 of 73 ITI (CBEMA) Curve © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 9 of 73 Power Factor – Incandescent lighting, heating elements, motors and capacitors – Affect on Electrical source are phase shifts due to capacitive and inductive reactance – Phase shift is measured as Power Factor or PF Most utilities have an additional charge if PF is less than .95 to .90 © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 10 of 73 Power Factor • Apparent Power is the product of Volts times Amps – VA or KVA=V x A • Real Power is the time average of instantaneous product of Volts time Amps – W or kW = V x A x cosine theta • • Time average of instantaneous evaluates phase shift between Volts and Amps Power factor is Watts divide by Apparent Power – PF= W/VA © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 11 of 73 Power Factor • VAR or Reactive Power is magnetic energy, which causes a phase shift between voltage and current Waveform • This overlapping of waveforms delivers less power to the load – VA2=VAR2 + W2 – VAR = © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 12 of 73 VAR’s • VAR’s or the non-working energy may be thought of as water in a hose. • When water is first applied there is a slight delay before water gets to the end of the hose. • If we used a storage device, water at the end of the hose would flow immediately. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 13 of 73 Power Disturbances • Power disturbances generally fall into one of six categories. – – – – – – Voltage Sags and Swells Under-voltage or Over-voltage Transients spikes, impulses and surges Outages Harmonics Noise © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 14 of 73 Power Disturbances • Voltage Sag – Momentary decrease in line Voltage – .5 to 30 Cycles (up to .5sec) – Caused by the start of heavy loads or fault occurrence on source. • Voltage Swells –Momentary increase in line Voltage –.5 to 30 Cycles (up to .5sec) –Occurs due to sudden load decrease or de-energizing of heavy equipment. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 15 of 73 Power Disturbances • Over-Voltage – Abnormally high voltage – >.5sec to a few seconds – Power voltage regulation • Under-Voltage – Abnormally low Voltage – >.5sec to a few seconds – Result for clearing of a fault or intentional utility regulation. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 16 of 73 Power Disturbances • Transients: – Short duration high amplitude pulses are surges that are superimposed on a normal voltage waveform. – Vary widely from twice the normal voltage to several thousand volts in time from < microsecond to a few hundreds of a second. – Result for loads cycling on and off in a building, utility, or lighting © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 17 of 73 Power Disturbances • Outages – Outage is a complete loss of power lasting from a few milliseconds to several hours. – Caused by power system failure due to damage to supply lines or equipment failure © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 18 of 73 Power Disturbances • NOISE: is an unwanted signal or distortion that is superimposed on a normal voltage waveform – Normal Mode noise – Common Mode noise – RFI: Radio Frequency interference – EMI: Electromagnetic interference © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 19 of 73 Harmonics • Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental frequency of 60 Hz in an electrical system. • Most harmonics are generated from Non-linear loads, or solid-state device equipment – Examples are Computers, Copiers, Laser printers, UPS systems, industrial controls, welding machines, Adjustable Speed Drives {ASD} or Variable Speed Drives {VFD} © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 20 of 73

It will reduce the transformers ability to withstand power glitches. – K rated transformers have lower impedance. You need some impedance to reduce effects of disturbances. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 42 of 73 De-rating Transformers • This method should only be used in de-rating phase to neutral loads. – Measure the True rms current for each phase – Measure the instantaneous peak for each phase – If the Ipeak and Irms values on each phase are not close, use the average value for each. – THDF= (1.414 x Irms)/ Ipeak. • (a value between 0 and 1.0) – KVA de-rated=KVAnameplate x THDF • (avg de-rating of a transformer is in the range of 20% to 40%) © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 43 of 73 Hot Neutral Conductors • Neutral Conductors can have as much as 150% of triplen harmonics (3rd, 9th, 15th, etc) as any phase conductor. – Triplen harmonics don’t cancel, but add in the neutral conductor. – “Skin Effect”, higher frequencies travel not through the wire, but on the outer surface of the wire. • Small gauge wire have less surface so it is a higher resistance to the higher frequencies currents • This is one reason that conduit makes such a good ground for noise- the higher frequencies run on the surface of the conduit. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 44 of 73 Hot Neutral Conductors • Reducing the effects of hot neutrals – One is to up-size the neutral. In resent years this has been the most popular action. – Triplen harmonic filters could be used at key source panels. • This would reduce not only neutral currents but also help reduce phase to neutral load on transformers. – No shared neutrals. • In a 240/120 three phase distribution shared neutrals were common, but with so many SMPS being added to the electrical distribution performance wiring practice can reduce effect on power disturbances. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 45 of 73 Branch Circuits • Line to Neutral Voltage – Transients, Sags& Swells, Voltage drops, Flat toping • Neutral to Ground Voltage – Tripling harmonics, High ground impedance. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 46 of 73 Branch Circuit • Test receptacles in sequence along the branch circuit • Identify the receptacle where the voltage drop increases significantly • Check voltage drop on remaining receptacles – If voltage drop is acceptable in remaining receptacles, then problem is probably localized at receptacle connection – If voltage drop is unacceptable, then problem exists within the hot or neutral conductors © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 47 of 73 Integrity of the Branch Circuit • If all branch receptacles have unacceptable voltage drops, then the problem is most likely in the circuit between the panel and the first receptacle, or at the panel – Undersized wire for length of run – Possible splices – Poor connections or corroded contacts at panel • Breaker, neutral bus, etc. – Most show up as hot spots in the panel © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 48 of 73 Integrity of the Branch Circuit • Ground to neutral voltage measurement – Indicates feedback on the neutral conductor – Caused by load balance or harmonic • Three-phase 208/120V power systems – 2 volts or less is acceptable level of voltage – IEEE recommends 0.25 ohms or less for any phase conductor, Ground is not considered a conductor by NEC however it would be a good guideline to consider. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 49 of 73 Integrity of the Ground • Identify false grounds – False or “bootleg” grounds are defined as a short between neutral and ground – Accidental short or improper bonding of ground and neutral conductors – Shows up as normally wired condition with receptacle testers © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Test & Measurement Basics of Power Quality 50 of 73 Installation of Safety Devices • Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters – NEC requires installation of GFCI in bathrooms, kitchens and outside. – Purpose is to protect individuals by detecting ground faults. – Defective or improperly installed GFCI can lead to shock. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 51 of 73 Installation of Safety Devices • TVSS Transit voltage surge suppresser – Purpose is to protect equipment. – 70% of all surges are generated within a facility – Defective TVSS can lead to lost productivity and damaged equipment. © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 52 of 73 Recommend Practices • Limit the number of electronic loads on sensitive circuit – Recommendation: limit the number of outlets to 3 to 6, instead of 13 or 14 – Not practical for all wiring installations, but essential in areas with high density of electronic equipment – Place large loads on dedicated circuit – Limits the harmonic distortion on the branch © 2007 Ideal Industries www.idealindustries.com Basics of Power Quality 53 of 73 Recommend Practices • Neutrals, double-sized or larger on 3-phase systems.
