4 VOLTAGE SWITCH PROBLEMS THAT AFFECT YOUR INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT
In industry, unexpected equipment stops cause losses in all segments. After all, a machine that is stopped does not produce, it generates losses in production and delays in deliveries.
To maintain proper functioning, Indumak equipment depends on a constant voltage and frequency, with little or no variation.
In addition to keeping your equipment up to date, some points need your attention. In some cases, voltage fluctuation problems are the main reasons for these unexpected stops.
Check below the main problems in the electrical network that can affect your equipment and how to avoid a stoppage in your production.
Main electrical problems in the industry and how to solve them
1.Blackout
The blackout is when there is a power outage. This happens when demand exceeds the generating capacity of transmission systems.
If the blackout occurs, it is necessary to monitor the return of energy and reactivate the equipment gradually.
To avoid the negative effects of a blackout, it is possible to use electricity generators, ensuring the operation of your equipment without interruption.
2. Voltage spikes
An instantaneous voltage increase can be caused by a very strong electrical discharge or lightning, which can cause damage to equipment components.
To avoid this, it is necessary to make sure that the lightning rod is revised and follows Regulatory Standard 10. A grounding system is also important so that the factory network is not affected.
3. Noise
Electrical noise is an interference that affects and causes an unwanted response in the electrical system, that is, any unwanted electrical signal in a circuit, therefore, the machine cannot operate in the same way.
To prevent this problem, it is recommended to use reactors and noise filters, which will help reduce distortion.
4. Voltage fluctuation
Voltage fluctuations are usually a sign of instability in the electrical network. Small variations, in most equipment, do not cause problems.
Most are designed to withstand a voltage variation of up to 10%. But when they exceed that limit, attention is needed.
In this case, voltage stabilizers are recommended, as they manage to keep the voltage stabilized and prevent the equipment from burning out.
Energy Analyzer: solution to reduce problems with electrical voltage
To ensure the proper functioning of your equipment, avoid production stoppages and reduce the risk of damage, it is important to have electrical energy monitoring systems. Indumak has an option for this purpose.
The Energy Analyzer is an electronic device that measures electrical quantities, usually voltage and current. With it, it is possible to adjust alarms so that the machine does not operate outside the acceptable voltage limits.
Indumak has the complete solution for whatever you need.
