ENERGY / POWER QUALITY
Measure before correcting.
We evaluate the electrical behavior of the installation to identify harmonic distortion, variations, imbalance, low power factor and other phenomena that can affect stability, efficiency and equipment life.

PRINCIPLE
Power quality is not solved by installing equipment by intuition. It is measured, contextualized with operations, the cause is identified and then mitigation is designed.
DIAGNOSTIC FLOW
From symptom to a measurable cause.
Measurement becomes valuable when it is related to the electrical architecture and to what was happening in operations.
WHAT WE OBSERVE
The waveform tells a story.
Not all electrical problems have the same cause. We separate the phenomenon, likely origin, load context and operational effect.
THD
Harmonics & THD
We analyze waveform behavior and nonlinear load contribution to understand where distortion originates and how it affects the installation.
PF
Power factor
We separate active, reactive and apparent power behavior to evaluate compensation opportunities and avoid corrections that introduce new problems.
PQ
Variations & events
We correlate voltage variations, transient events, imbalance and load behavior with what is actually happening in operations.

DEEP DIVE / HARMONICS
Harmonics: measure behavior before selecting the filter.
Distortion can change depending on which equipment is operating, load level and electrical architecture. The goal is not only to know a THD percentage, but to understand what generates it and how it propagates through the system.

Mitigation depends on diagnosis.
Active filters, passive filters, compensation and monitoring are not interchangeable alternatives: each architecture responds to different conditions.
Active harmonic filters
For scenarios where distortion changes with operations and dynamic compensation is required based on real measurements.
Passive filters
Tuned solutions for specific conditions when the electrical profile and problematic frequencies are sufficiently characterized.
Reactive power compensation
Power factor correction coordinated with harmonic content and operations to avoid isolated decisions.
Continuous monitoring
When the process changes over time, continuous measurement helps verify mitigation and detect new conditions before they become incidents.
WHEN TO LOOK DEEPER
When should power quality be investigated?
- 01Trips or failures without an obvious cause
- 02Abnormal heating in transformers or conductors
- 03Irregular behavior in drives, UPS or sensitive electronics
- 04Penalties or low power factor
- 05Load expansions or addition of nonlinear equipment
- 06Need to validate an existing filtering solution
POWER QUALITY / USD SOLUTIONS
Turn an electrical suspicion into a measurable diagnosis.
We can start with the observed problem, review the electrical architecture and define the required measurement scope before proposing mitigation.
