Electrical Power Quality for HVAC Equipment

Users, installers, and engineers prefer to connect HVAC system components to the power source and never have to worry about it again. However, issues such as lightning strikes, ground fault events, or even overvoltage trips can occur, resulting in collateral damage to the HVAC equipment.

This EN provides readers with an understanding of how to conduct a power quality analysis and provide options to make equipment more resilient when impacted by electrical transients.
