Electronic Loads and Power-quality

  • Chapter
Book cover Power Quality

Part of the book series: Power Systems ((POWSYS))

Abstract

Today's businesses depend heavily on electrical services for lighting, general power, computer hardware and communications hardware. With the generalised use of computers, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs) and other microelectronics loads, the subjects related to power-quality and its relationship to vulnerability of commercial and industrial plants are becoming an increasing concern not only to the utility companies but, what is more, to the end-customer.
