Electrex - Power Quality: The Silent Factor Impacting Efficiency

..  

The evolution of technology has transformed the way we consume electricity—but it has also introduced new challenges.

🔌 From Linear to Non-Linear Loads

Until the 1980s, industrial and commercial facilities were dominated by linear loads—simple electrical systems without electronic controls. But by the late 1980s, the rise of compact, efficient electronic components brought about a revolution in energy management.

These non-linear loads, driven by power electronics, improved energy efficiency but at the cost of power quality (PQ). The problem intensified with the 2000s surge in global electricity consumption and the increasing share of renewable energy sources, which, while vital for sustainability, can negatively impact PQ.

Why Power Quality Matters

Poor PQ leads to:

  • Equipment malfunctions
  • Increased energy costs
  • Reduced system lifespan

Optimizing PQ is no longer optional—it’s essential for energy savings and operational efficiency.

🌟 Electrex Solutions:
A Complete Approach to PQ

At Electrex, we empower industries to take control of their PQ:Electrex -The importance of managing Power Quality and reduce the financial losses caused by disturbances

  • Monitoring & Analysis: Our Power Quality and Harmonics Analyzers provide a detailed snapshot of your PQ status and track its evolution over time.
  • Real-Time Alerts: Immediate notifications ensure you’re aware of PQ issues before they escalate.
  • Enhanced Decision-Making: Data-driven insights enable actionable strategies for energy efficiency and system reliability.

📈 Whether you’re addressing current PQ issues or planning for a more efficient future, our solutions are designed to keep your systems optimized and your operations running smoothly.

THE ELECTREX MONITORING SOLUTIONS AND POWER QUALITY ANALYZERS

Kilo 96

Electrex, permanent or portable, Power Quality Energy Analyzer & Web Data Manager devices are designed to monitor and analyze Power Quality.

Our devices are IoT type, including  an embedded web interface and communication ports that make it possible to display measurements and control the device remotely.

In addition it is possible to activate an embedded “energy PLC” functionality allowing to create energy automation applications within the same energy analyzer.

Our Power Quality analyzers can be used for:

  • the recording of PQ events
  • preventive maintenance on your system
  • PQ measurement campaigns for specific periods defined from the user
  • monitoring of the compliance with PQ standards or service standards

In order to support end users and professionals with data-driven insights, the Electrex Power Quality analyzers include, among other functionalities,  the “event’s graphic detail” and “events timeline” which can display detailed info  of each event and a timeline of the succession of events.

Other functions, for example, permit identifying the direction compared to the monitoring point, therefore identifying the source of the disturbance.

Preventive and continuous Power Quality monitoring can ensure a smooth installation of new assets and a reliable operation of the system.

The Cost of Analysis is always Small if Compared to the Cost of Equipment Replacement.
