Monitor Your Electrical Output with Altona Electrics

Improve Your Energy Use Today

Organisations today are becoming aware of the benefits of monitoring and improving their power quality; we aim to identify areas for improving power quality for the efficient utilisation of electrical energy and practical, cost-effective solutions to ensure you get more work from your power.

What are the benefits:

Avoid penalty charges due to poor power factor

Lower electricity bills

Extending the life of electrical equipment

Lower ongoing plant maintenance costs

Mitigate unanticipated future capital costs

Why You Should Choose Us

Confidence! Our professional engineers have many years of industrial experience and the know-how in developing power quality products, systems, and solutions for both LV and MV electrical power networks.

We use our power Quality Analysers certified to IECB1000-4-30, Class A, ensuring the highest level of data integrity. Our instruments are IP65 and IP66 rated and therefore lent themselves to outdoor applications for all weather conditions.

Electrical Metering Applications

Our electrical metering applications are designed to help you keep track of your electrical usage to make sure that you’re using electricity efficiently. You can see how much electricity you’re using, how much electricity you’re producing, and how much electricity you’re wasting. We also offer electrical metering applications to help you monitor your energy usage to make sure that you’re using energy efficiently. Some of these applications include:

Load and energy surveys

Steady-state voltage investigations

Nuisance tripping of Residual current Devices.

Monitoring a motor to determine the cause of overheating

Monitoring capacitor banks and neutral current

Condition monitoring of leakage current in surge Arresters

Load unbalance in three-phase systems

Event recording at a plant to determine the cause of random shutdowns

Monitoring variable speed drives

Symptoms of Poor Power Quality

Low power factor

Unstable mains frequency

Significant variations in mains voltage

Voltage and current unbalance

Voltage and current harmonics

Flicker and interharmonics

Dips and swells

Excessive levels of mains signalling

Transients

Interruptions

How We Can Improve Your Power Quality

Here at Altona Electrics, we understand the importance of electrical output and power quality. That’s why we offer a range of services to improve your electrical metering and power quality. We can provide you with an electrical report that outlines the electrical loads on your premises and the associated risks.

We can also install electrical devices that can help to improve your power quality. These devices can help to reduce electrical losses, improve energy efficiency, and protect against electrical surges. Our processes include:

Start with an onsite Power Quality investigation and includes:

Monitoring your distribution board for a minimum of one week

Analysing logged data and assessing for non-compliances (in accordance with the relevant power Quality standard )

Assess for external events and influences

Preparing a Power Quality report that (a) details power quality parameters, (b) identifies problem areas, and (c) provides recommendations and mitigation strategies where and are required.
