Power Quality Monitoring Melbourne

High Voltage Power Quality Monitoring

Power quality refers to the stability and reliability of your electrical system. It plays a key role in keeping equipment safe and efficient. That’s why power quality monitoring is so important. It identifies and resolves issues such as voltage sags, swells, transients, harmonics, and other disturbances. These problems can disrupt your power system, damage sensitive devices, or affect system performance.

This is where ProT Assist can help. We provide reliable power quality monitoring in Melbourne to keep your systems safe, stable, and performing at their best.

Safety is at the heart of everything we do. We follow strict guidelines and proven practices to protect our team, our clients, and the community. Our approach includes:

  • Ongoing safety training and practice drills
  • Meeting both local and global safety regulations
  • Supplying and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • Carrying out detailed risk checks and reducing hazards

What Is Power Quality Analysis and Why It Matters

Power quality analysis, also called a power quality audit, assesses the condition of your electrical system. It checks whether your supply meets required standards. The process collects key data to detect and fix issues before they escalate.

How is Power Quality Measured?

We use advanced devices called power quality monitors or analysers. These measure voltage, current, frequency, power factor, harmonics, and waveform issues. Monitoring may be ongoing or done at set times, depending on your needs.

Once the data is collected, we review it for faults or deviations from the standard. This can involve waveform checks, spectral analysis, or other methods. The aim is to find the cause of the issue and decide on a fix, such as adding harmonic filters, correcting power factor, or using other solutions.

Poor power quality can show up in many ways, including:

  • Unexpected electrical issues
  • Sudden power surges
  • Equipment breaking down
  • Frequent circuit breaker trips
  • Electrical interference
  • Long power outages
  • Fluctuating voltage levels
  • Damage from lightning
  • Distorted electrical signals
  • Changes in power frequency
  • Inefficient power usage

Frequently Asked Questions: HV Power Quality Monitoring 

What are common causes of poor power quality in high voltage networks?
Common causes include nonlinear loads, switching events, capacitor issues, transformer saturation, lightning, and system faults. Detecting these early with proper monitoring helps avoid major disruptions.
How does real-time power quality monitoring work?
Real-time monitoring uses fast sensors and digital meters to track waveforms continuously. The data is sent to a central system, where operators can view conditions, find irregularities, and act quickly.
How often should power quality be measured?
Continuous tracking is best for critical systems. For others, regular checks, done monthly or quarterly, may be enough. The right schedule depends on system size, load type, and risk level.
What is the cost of a high voltage power quality monitoring system?
The cost varies based on network size, number of sensors, data setup, and hardware needs. We create custom quotes after reviewing your site and system details.
What happens when a power quality issue is found?
Our system sends instant alerts and reports. Our engineers review the event remotely, find the cause, and suggest or carry out fixes right away.
