Power Quality

Power quality is important for business

Power quality problems can prevent your business from operating efficiently, causing equipment damage, lost revenue and safety issues. The most apparent signs of power quality problems are equipment malfunctions or blown fuses. Increasing reliance on sensitive electronic equipment makes power quality problems more visible and troublesome for business. Electronic equipment must be properly wired and grounded. It also must be compatible with the premises' wiring system and other connected equipment.

• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). MGE recommends a UPS be applied to electronic equipment that could be adversely affected by power problems. Choose the type of UPS by how critical the equipment is that needs to be protected.
• Distributed Generation
• Portable Generators. Portable generators are designed to be connected only to selected appliances or lamps, never connected directly to a building’s wiring system.
