Understanding the problems – designing the solutions

ECI’s PQ Survey demonstrates that the majority of the PQ problems faced by the hotel sector could be avoided by a more adequate design of the hotels’ own electrical installations.

The solutions therefore lie very much in the business’ own hands.

Electrical design engineers involved in this survey recommend a holistic approach to review all the issues at hand, based on three operational pillars:

• Correct measurement, to assess the full impact of power quality events, and why they are happening
• Appropriate design for the electric installations, ensuring reliability and resilience.
• Considered investment justified by assessing system renovation cost set against the accumulated losses.
