Power Quality Monitoring as a Tool for Phase Conductors Diagnostics
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the main reasons of power quality deterioration in low-voltage networks. The analysis of nonlinear power loads and contact quality of cable connections reveals that the latter has a greater influence on voltage quality indicators. Therefore, this fact can be used not only to take measures of power quality enhancement but also to check conditions of power equipment. We suggest a methodology of phase conductors diagnostics based on periodical power quality monitoring.
