Some conveniences that we enjoy in our homes today (VCRs, remote controls, CD
Player, DVD players and home computers) seemed like science fiction just 30
years ago. And while they add to our quality of life, they can be frustrating
when you experience problems with electrical service. When there is a problem,
there is a tendency to "blame" the electric company. But that is rarely
the case. More often than not, the problems are caused inside the home or in
the nearby transmission lines.
Most power quality problems show a unique set of symptoms that help identify
the problem's cause and sometimes its location. Once you have tied the symptom
to a source, you are well on your way to finding a solution.
