Using Instrument Transformers for Reliable Power Quality Testing
Discover why accurate wideband measurements are essential for checking power quality.
Poor power quality can lead to equipment malfunction and energy losses. Accurate power quality measurements are vital for checking grid stability. Instrument transformers play a crucial role in ensuring this measurement accuracy.
These are the points discussed in this episode of Energy Talks with OMICRON instrument transformer testing experts Felix Feustel and Thomas Bischof. They describe how the accuracy of power quality measurements is becoming more important in evolving modern power grids to ensure a reliable power supply.
Specifically, Felix and Thomas describe the role of instrument transformers in ensuring accurate wideband measurements for determining power quality, and how they developed and field-tested an innovative measurement solution for it, called FRANEO 800 IT PQlyzer.
Felix and Thomas also highlight the importance of adhering to international standards in developing such a solution and the positive feedback they have received from the users who requested it.
