• “The concept of powering and grounding
sensitive equipment in a manner that is
suitable to the operation of that equipment.”1
• “Within the industry, alternate definitions or
interpretations of power quality have been
used, reflecting different points of view.”2
• The definition of Power Quality cannot be
limited to the characteristics of the supply
power The definition must also include the requirements of the load.

• Harmonics are low frequency waveform distortions
(< 1kHz)
• Transients are higher frequency events
(between 1 kHz and 1 MHz)
• Above 1MHz, the wires become transmitters
and radiate the noise at this frequency
