Power Quality Analysis Services in NYC: Optimize Efficiency, Eliminate Downtime & Protect Equipment

Power quality is more than just consistent electricity—it’s the backbone of operational efficiency, safety, and long-term equipment reliability. At ORBA Electric Inc., we offer comprehensive Power Quality Analysis services that identify and correct hidden electrical issues such as voltage sags, harmonics, flicker, and transients. These disturbances, often undetected, can compromise critical systems, inflate energy costs, and reduce equipment lifespan.

If your facility experiences unexplained power failures, overheating equipment, or erratic system behavior, it’s time to assess the quality of your power supply.

Why Power Quality Matters

Poor power quality is one of the leading causes of downtime, component failures, and energy inefficiency in commercial and industrial settings. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, power disturbances cost businesses over $150 billion annually in lost productivity and equipment damage.

Power quality issues can lead to:

  • Damaged machinery and electronics
  • Data loss or system crashes

  • Reduced energy efficiency

  • Increased utility bills

  • Fines for non-compliance with power quality standards

Our Power Quality Analysis Services

We deliver tailored power analysis solutions for commercial buildings, manufacturing plants, data centers, hospitals, and other mission-critical environments.

1. Full-Spectrum Power Quality Monitoring

Using high-resolution power analyzers, we monitor and record parameters such as:

 

  • Voltage sags/swells

  • Harmonic distortion

  • Transients/spikes

  • Frequency variation

  • Flicker and phase imbalance

 

This data gives a complete view of how your power behaves and where the inefficiencies lie.

2. Load & Harmonic Analysis

High harmonic levels from nonlinear loads (such as computers, LED lighting, and VFDs) can overheat wiring and trip breakers. We perform:

 

  • IEEE 519 compliance checks

  • Harmonic current profiling

  • Neutral current assessments

  • Transformer stress evaluations

 

We recommend filters, isolation transformers, and other mitigation techniques to restore system balance.

3. Voltage Optimization & Phase Balancing

Unbalanced loads or under-voltage conditions can cause motors to overheat or fail prematurely. We assess:

 

  • Voltage drop across feeders

  • Phase-to-phase load symmetry

  • Transformer tap settings

  • Power factor correction opportunities

 

We provide recommendations for capacitors, voltage regulators, or service upgrades as needed.

4. Corrective Maintenance & Solutions

Once issues are identified, we implement targeted solutions such as:

 

  • Surge protection devices (SPD)

  • Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems

  • Voltage regulators and line conditioners

  • Grounding system improvements

  • Rewiring or equipment upgrades

FAQs About Power Quality Analysis

Q: What are the signs of poor power quality?
A: Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, unexplained equipment failure, overheating panels, and high electric bills are all red flags.

 

Q: How often should I perform a power quality analysis?
A: We recommend annual checks or immediately following equipment upgrades, building expansions, or the addition of sensitive electronics.

 

Q: Can power quality issues damage computers or servers?
A: Yes, voltage sags and harmonic distortion are a leading cause of server crashes and premature failure of sensitive electronics.
