Ensure Optimal Performance & Safety: SNA Power's Comprehensive Power Quality Audit (PQA)
In today’s electrically dependent world, the quality of your power supply is as crucial as its availability. Poor power quality can manifest as subtle disturbances, yet its effects can be devastating – leading to equipment malfunction, data corruption, premature component failure, increased energy costs, and even serious safety hazards. At SNA Power, we offer comprehensive Power Quality Audit (PQA) services across Chandigarh and throughout North India (including Delhi NCR, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand) to diagnose, analyze, and mitigate these hidden threats to your operations.
Our PQA service goes beyond basic electrical checks, providing a deep dive into the health of your entire electrical infrastructure through meticulous physical, electrical, and thermal evaluations.
What is a Power Quality Audit (PQA) and Why is it Critical?
Why is PQA critical for your business in North India? The region’s dynamic power grid, coupled with an increasing reliance on sensitive electronic equipment across all sectors, makes power quality a paramount concern. Ignoring these issues is a recipe for accidents and costly downtime.
SNA Power's Multi-Dimensional PQA Approach:
1. Physical Evaluation:
01
Visual Inspection
A thorough walk-through of your facility's electrical infrastructure, including switchgear, distribution panels, wiring, cabling, and grounding systems.
02
Wiring & Connection Integrity
Checking for loose connections, frayed wires, improperly sized conductors, and signs of wear and tear.
03
Grounding System Assessment
Verifying the integrity and effectiveness of earthing systems, identifying improper grounding, and ensuring low earth resistance to prevent electrical shock hazards and equipment malfunction.
04
Environmental Factors
Assessing ambient conditions like dust, humidity, and ventilation that can impact electrical component longevity.
05
Layout & Separation
Checking for proper segregation of sensitive circuits from noisy loads, which can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI).
2. Electrical Evaluation:
01
Advanced Monitoring & Data Logging
Utilizing high-precision power quality analyzers to continuously monitor and record various parameters over a defined period (e.g., 24 hours, 7 days, or longer).
02
Voltage & Current Analysis
Measuring RMS voltage and current levels, identifying sags, swells, transients, and fluctuations.
03
Harmonic Distortion Analysis
Quantifying Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for both voltage and current, identifying harmonic sources, and assessing their impact on equipment and system efficiency.
04
Power Factor Correction Study
Evaluating the existing power factor and recommending solutions for improvement to reduce energy losses and utility penalties.
05
Load Profile Assessment
Analyzing peak load demands, load variations, and current distribution across phases to identify imbalances or overloading.
06
Neutral Current Analysis
Checking for excessive neutral currents, often caused by harmonics, which can lead to overheating and fire risks.
3. Thermal Evaluation (Infrared Thermography):
01
Non-Invasive Hotspot Detection
Using state-of-the-art infrared (IR) thermal cameras to identify abnormal heat signatures in electrical components like circuit breakers, busbars, transformers, cables, switchgear, and connections.
02
Early Warning System
Overheating often precedes electrical failure or fire. Thermography helps detect these issues before they become critical.
03
Risk Identification
Pinpointing overloaded circuits, loose connections, imbalanced loads, or failing components that generate excessive heat, indicating potential points of failure or fire hazards.
04
Preventative Insights
Providing actionable data for targeted maintenance, preventing catastrophic failures and associated safety incidents.
How a PQA Prevents Accidents and Minimizes Downtime:
1. Accident Prevention:
Mitigating Fire Hazards
Identifying hot spots (via thermal evaluation), overloaded circuits, and faulty wiring prevents overheating that can lead to electrical fires.
Preventing Electric Shocks
Detecting improper grounding, neutral-to-ground voltage issues, and faulty insulation reduces the risk of electrical shocks to personnel.
Safeguarding Equipment
By identifying conditions like high harmonics or transients, PQA protects sensitive electronics from damage that could lead to dangerous malfunctions or explosions.
Compliance
Ensures your electrical system adheres to national and international safety standards, reducing legal liabilities.
2. Downtime Reduction:
Proactive Problem Detection
PQA uncovers hidden power quality issues before they escalate into major failures, allowing for scheduled, rather than reactive, maintenance.
Extended Equipment Lifespan
By providing "clean" and stable power, a PQA helps prevent premature degradation and failure of motors, drives, PLCs, servers, and other critical equipment, thereby extending their operational life.
Enhanced Reliability
Correcting power quality issues ensures that your equipment operates as designed, reducing unexplained malfunctions, computer freezes, and nuisance tripping of circuit breakers.
Optimized Performance
Stable power improves the efficiency and performance of all electrical loads, leading to better productivity.
