Power Quality

• This presentation was adapted to NJATC Lesson 4-62. It’s intent is to give the student a basic understanding of Power Quality as describe in this lesson plan.– Describe the nature of several different types of power-related

problems.– Identify the causes or source of many power related problems– List steps that can be used with different electrical equipment

to minimize the equipment’s contribution to power-related problems.
