Electrical Harmonic Surveys

From which we establish the requirement and best solution to the problem of electrical harmonic pollution in buildings and in particular data centres which often both create and are susceptible to distorted voltage waveforms.

Effects such as voltage flat topping, multiple zero crossings, poor phase angle can be identified and the best solution prescribed.

Our surveys can be a spot check type, for installation validation, typically taking one day through to full G5/4 (the electrical standard) study taking over 5 days to record and prepare the data and produce the report.

This information is ideal for demonstrating compliance to electrical supply authorities or to landlords onto which your data centre is connected and who are experiencing voltage and current distortion.

When experiencing voltage distortion problems on ultra sensitive measuring equipments the Sports Science department (Sportex) of the University of Birmingham engaged Powertechnix to provide data logging and reports detailing the problem.
