Survey shows significant impact on company turnover

Several companies are losing up 10 per cent of their turnover to poor Power Quality !

The 2007 survey was divided into two sub-samples: ‘Industry’ and ‘Services’. Data analysis revealed that:

• Several companies are losing up to 10 per cent of their turnover to poor Power Quality. And even when poor Power Quality losses do not appear to be excessive as a percentage of the total turnover, they can still be large in absolute figures and comprise an important part of the budget of individual business units.
• Total wastage due to poor Power Quality in the service sectors is almost certainly under reported. The causes and consequences of poor Power Quality are often difficult to identify in service organizations. To cite just one example: how does one calculate the losses in productivity due to flickering lights and screens that affect the comfort and health of staff?
