The Challenge

As factories and businesses become more computerized, power quality becomes more important. Ten years ago if the lights blinked, not much happened and very little notice was paid to the event. Now when a blink occurs; processes fail, cash registers lock up, and businesses experience increased costs. Although equipment manufacturers are making some attempts to immunize their equipment from these electrical events, it is for the most part left up to the user to solve the problem. Your local electric co-op and its subsidiary, Envision Energy Services, have the equipment and the knowledge to work with you to identify and solve power quality problems.

The Service

The people at Envision have over 16 years of experience in helping customers overcome problems associated with power line disturbances. A variety of services are offered to meet your power quality needs. These services include:

• In-plant analyses of disturbances and harmonics so that the solutions you choose will match the problems you have.

• Recommended solutions. We always seek the lowest cost, most reliable solution. We first look to possible operational changes then to improvements in the building's wiring system and finally to addition of equipment.

• Equipment to eliminate the problems. We will not disappear after the sale. We will provide installation and commissioning and we will be there long after the sale is complete.

The Benefit

There are many benefits to enhanced power quality. These include:

• Savings from reduced operating costs

• Reduced costs associated with less damaged equipment
