Frequency variations measurement techniques in power quality monitoring

Power quality is a term used to describe electric power that motivates an electrical load and the load's ability to function properly with that electric power. Without the proper power, an electrical device load may malfunction, fail prematurely or not operate at all. There are many ways in whi...

description Power quality is a term used to describe electric power that motivates an electrical load and the load's ability to function properly with that electric power.
