Abstract

ABSTRACT Voltage variations, in particular voltage sags, cause unplanned production stoppages that cost North American industry over $200 billion per annum. Electrical utilities cannot readily prevent the occurrence of voltage sags, which are more frequent during stormy weather. It is usually not practical for the utility to provide correction for a network, or even for individual customers. Companies that regularly invest millions in production equipment often ignore or greatly underestimate the cost of their unplanned stoppages. The article reviews the latest active voltage conditioning solutions that keep critical equipment running, avoid the unplanned stoppage costs, and provide a very attractive financial payback.
