Modern day technology can and often causes electrical current to fluctuate and as a result of this may/often cause a variety of problems. Some of these effects are:

• Harmonics
• Over heating
• Surges or spikes

The effects mentioned often cause protective devices to trip/break, motors/plant to fail plus wasted electrical energy due to poor power factor correction. This will undoubtedly lead to financial inefficiency.

A detailed load analysis of the electrical installation over a period of days will ascertain if the electrical installation is working to its optimum efficiency and capacity.
