Voltage Flicker Analysis

When introducing any dynamic piece of equipment such as motors, generators, and capacitors to the distribution system, it is important to take into consideration the voltage flicker. These types of equipment can cause large fluctuations in voltage and current which, in turn, can cause power quality problems and increased customer complaints.

Power System Engineering, Inc. (PSE) has engineers with many years of experience on both the utility and consumer side of the meter to assist with:

• Voltage flicker analysis and mitigation for motors, generators, and capacitors.
• Soft starting large motors.
• Specifying variable frequency drive controls.
