Power Quality and Energy Management

The critical importance of electrical power in today’s society necessitates daily maintenance and management to ensure that problems don’t occur. When they do, engineers face the need to analyze the cause, such as an equipment failure or abrupt surge in demand, as quickly as possible. From measurement to long-term recording and analysis, HIOKI’s tools support reliable power analysis with superior operability for efficient power operation, troubleshooting and predictive maintenance.

• Efficient operation of electricity
  Reduce costs through efficient operation of electricity

  • Power saving activity, leakage current prevention, electricity operation improvement, etc.
  • Energy cost calculation
  • Check for discrepancies with an electricity meter

• Predictive maintenance & power survey
  Reduce the impact of poor power quality on asset costs

  • By monitoring the quality of the power supply on a long-term or regular basis, it is possible to detect signs of trouble and prevent it from happening in the first place.
  • Check the system capacity before adding loads.

• Troubleshooting
  Find the cause of equipment problems, diagnose and take countermeasures.

  • Conduct power quality investigations at sites where problems such as equipment failure or malfunction are occurring.
  • Check the condition of before and after the installment of an electrical equipment.

• Resolving disputes
  Contracted dispute resolution

What?

| Used when precise measurements are necessary, for example, for contracted jobs that may require resolving disputes, verifying compliance with standards, etc.| This is a tool for understanding power trends and consumption, constant monitoring, analyzing power quality, troubleshooting and analyzing other applications where can’t comprehend.| Power loggers are instruments for you to understand and constantly monitor power trends.| The AC Clamp Power Meter is a tool for you to check the power at sites from manufacturing plants to households.

When?

| When you need to examine, diagnose, and countermeasure the power supply condition that causes issues in equipment

When two separate circuits need to be measured simultaneously

| When you need to conduct a power survey to understand the load size in a system or to understand the power quality in a system.

It’s also great for preventive maintenance.

| When you need to understand the power consumption of a facility or system

Voltage dip (SAG)

| Most dips are caused by natural phenomena such as lightning. When an equipment fault is detected and taken offline due to the occurrence of a power system ground fault or short-circuit, a large inrush current caused by a motor startup or another load can occur, causing a temporary voltage dip.| ****

Voltage swell (SURGE)

| Swells occur when the voltage rises momentarily. Some examples of these are when a power line turns on or off due to lightning or a heavy load, when a high-capacity capacitor bank is switched, when a one-line ground occurs, and when a high-capacity load is cut off. This phenomenon also includes voltage surges due to grid-tied dispersed power supplies (e.g. solar power).| ****
