Countless facilities support clusters of electronic devices, especially computers and other networked machines. Installing proper grounding and the performance of regular grounding tests can result in consistent power quality.Grounding is a low-resistance conductive connection between electrical circuits, equipment and the earth. It impacts the stability of reference voltage in a power system. Proper wiring and grounding are required in any electrical system for safe equipment operation. It is essential...

Symptoms of power quality issues include vibration, excessive buzzing or humming and overheating. Technicians should occasionally check the power of transformers that supply nonlinear loads, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs) or switching power supplies. Doing so ensures operation within acceptable limits. Transformers are deeply critical to the reliability of the grounding system. During your transformer inspection, use temperature as a guide to check for excessive radiant heat and stay alert...
