The National Cleaner Production Centre South Africa (NCPC-SA) aims to raise awareness of the importance of Power Quality in the manufacturing industry at this year’s Africa Energy Indaba (AEI). Power Quality refers to the degree to which a power system conforms to established standards; in the South African context the standard is NRS048. It refers to voltage, waveform, and frequency parameters of power, and deviations in these parameters affect equipment connected to the power system in its ability to function properly.
