Defines electromagnetic phenomena which can cause power quality problems, Recommends methods to measure and record those

e phenomena. Terminology to undefined phenomena like Spike, glitch, blink, outage, flicker

Successful measurement of electro-magnetic phenomena starts with the proper monitoring tool High sampling rate.

Monitor Placement
Point where the offending phenomena can be measured Near to the supply machine Service entrance

Consistency among PQ engineers, Vendors and Customers Describes techniques for correct power quality monitoring

Deals with Voltage Sag and Reliability The distribution voltage quality standard IEEE Standard P1564 gives the recommended indices and procedures for characterizing voltage sag performance And comparing performance across different systems.

Electric Power System Compatibility With Electronic Process Equipment A standard methodology for the technical and financial analysis of voltage sag compatibility between process equipment and electric power systems is recommended Does not set limit for Utility, Distribution and electronic process equipment Instead it shows how to evaluate their compatibility in financial terms

What are the steady-state voltage tolerances?

Inadequate:5%.Typically tight tolerances of this nature are trying to improve ride-through characteristics using unrealistic criteria. Preferred: Values can be of 10% of the equipment rating. All machine components can be rated to the same value Inadequate: A time value without load or process dependency. Preferred: Test results of the composite machine can be provided.

How long can zero voltage be tolerated?

 The only national standard for utilization voltage regulation is ANSI C84.1 First Version in 1954 was a combination of two standards One from Edison Electric Institute that represents utilities and the second from National Electrical Manufacturers Association. It establishes nominal voltage ratings for utilities to regulate the service delivery and it establishes operating tolerance at he point f use.

ITIC = Information Technology Industrial Council, an interest group that operates on behalf of the information technology industry. They have updated the original CBEMA curve to use straight lines that are easier to represent digitally CBEMA = Computer and Business Electronic Manufactures Association. The CBEMA curve describes acceptable power supply operating voltages in terms of magnitude variation over time. Any voltage disturbance that falls outside the curve can cause the power supply to drop out or suffer damage. It has become a widely accepted indication of voltage power quality

is Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (http://www.semi.org), a global trade association that represents the semiconductor and flat panel display equipment and materials industries. They have produced a number of standards for the construction, operation, and maintenance of semiconductor fabrication facilities, including some that deal with voltage sag immunity and other power quality issues.

IEEE 1433: Power Quality Definitions It has common set of definitions describing the various types of power quality disturbances and phenomena that occurs.

IEEE 1453: Voltage flicker voltage flicker standards demonstrate how the industry can successfully coordinate IEEE and IEC activities. IEC Standard 61000-4-15 defines the measurement procedure and monitor requirements for characterizing flicker. The IEEE flicker task force working on Standard P1453 is set to adopt the IEC standard as
