Pan-European Power Quality Survey

Jonathan Manson is a management consultant who has been working with the copper sector for the past 10 years, specifically relating to electrical applications - domestic electrical safety and functionality and non-residential Power Quality. With the European Copper Institute (ECI), the FEEDS programme was developed; this has since evolved into International projects (FISUEL) and National ones (eg PRIE in Spain) that both seek changes to regulations to ensure improved domestic electrical safety. Jonathan has worked with various Leonardo Power Quality Initiative teams (eg editorial, strategic planning, measurement) and with ECI has played a key role in the PQ Survey investigating the economic impact on organisations for which electrical power is critical. The initial findings were presented at PCIM in May 2006. Jonathan is also part of the Spanish LPQI Partnership that runs seminars on various Power Quality themes and presents the operating consequences for unreliable and unresilient electrical power installations.
