Preface:
Disturbances on the ac power line are what headaches are made of. Outages, surges, sags, transients: they combine to create an environment that can damage or destroy sensitive load equipment. They can take your system down and leave you with a complicated and expensive repair job. Ensuring that the equipment at your facility receives clean ac power has always been important. But now, with computers integrated into a wide variety of electronic products, the question of ac power quality is more critical than ever. The computer-based systems prevalent today can garble or lose dat because of power-supply disturbances or interruptions. And if the operational problems are not enough, there is the usually difficult task of equipment troubleshooting and repair that follows a utility system
fault. This book examines the key elements of ac power use for commercial and industrial customers. The roots of ac power-system problems are identified, and effective solutions are detailed. The book follows a logical progression from generating ac energy to the protection of life and property. General topics include :
• Power-System Operation. Every electronic installation requires a steady supply of clean power to
function properly. The ac power line into a facility is, in fact, the lifeblood of any operation. It is also,
however, a frequent source of equipment malfunctions and component failures. This book details the
process of generating ac energy and distributing it to end-users. The causes of power-system distur
bances are detailed, and the characteristics of common fault conditions are outlined.
• Protecting Equipment Loads. Power quality is a moving target. Utility companies work hard to main
tain acceptable levels of performance. However, the wide variety of loads and unpredictable situations make this job difficult. Users cannot expect power suppliers to solve all their problems. Responsibility for protecting sensitive loads clearly rests with the end-user. Several chapters are devoted to this important topic. Power-system protection options are outlined, and their relative benefits discussed. Evaluating the many tradeoffs involved in protection system design requires a thorough knowledge of the operating principles.
