Power Quality Problem?
Can be defined as:
Any problem in electric power system
manifested in voltage, current or frequency
deviations
that results in unsatisfactory operation or
failure of electrical equipments
Quality Power Supply?
Refers to:
Uninterrupted supply of power with
sinusoidal voltage and current waveform
at acceptable frequency and voltage
magnitude.
