PODCAST: Mitigating Electric Pollution & Power Quality Issues
AZZO’s Global Power Quality Solutions Manager, Aaron Grant spoke with SIM-PAC live about “electric pollution” and it’s impact on industrial and commercial operations. Aaron explains how poor power quality—caused by harmonics and voltage distortions - can lead to increased energy costs, equipment failures, and operational inefficiencies.
He emphasizes that most power quality issues originate within a business’s own site, not just from the utility, providing real-world examples where improving power quality resulted in significant cost savings and reliability improvements.
The key takeaway is that businesses should actively measure and manage power quality to enhance efficiency, reduce downtime, and support decarbonization efforts.
