Energy Loss
Electrical distortion, poor power factor, imbalance, and inefficient operating patterns can increase losses within transformers, conductors, motors, and drives.

Identify the electrical conditions contributing to wasted energy, equipment stress, nuisance trips, downtime, and unstable facility operations.
Request a Power Quality AssessmentElectrical problems do not always appear as a clear line item on a utility bill. They often appear as overheated motors, failed drives, unstable controls, nuisance trips, premature equipment replacement, inconsistent processes, or unexplained facility downtime.
The equipment may appear to be the problem when the underlying cause is the electrical environment supplying it.
Harmonics, voltage distortion, transients, sags, swells, electrical noise, poor power factor, phase imbalance, and unstable demand can place unnecessary stress on motors, transformers, drives, pumps, controls, and other critical assets.
AWP helps facilities identify these conditions, evaluate their operational impact, and develop an appropriate combination of conditioning equipment, controls, energy storage, electrical upgrades, and operating strategies.
Electrical distortion, poor power factor, imbalance, and inefficient operating patterns can increase losses within transformers, conductors, motors, and drives.
Motors, drives, transformers, controls, and other assets may require more frequent repair or replacement when exposed to persistent electrical stress.
Brief disturbances can interrupt automation, trip drives, stop pumps, reset sensitive controls, and disrupt critical operating sequences.
Electrical disturbances can affect pumping, pressure, treatment, manufacturing quality, cooling, environmental controls, and other interconnected facility processes.
Identify electrical conditions that may be increasing losses within motors, transformers, conductors, drives, and distribution systems.
Reduce unnecessary thermal, harmonic, voltage, and switching stress on critical electrical and mechanical assets.
Identify disturbances that may be triggering drives, protection equipment, control systems, and sensitive process loads.
Improve the electrical environment supporting pumps, drives, automation, controls, treatment systems, and production equipment.
Distinguish ordinary equipment failures from symptoms caused or accelerated by the facility’s electrical environment.
Translate technical findings into energy, maintenance, downtime, replacement-cost, and operational-risk considerations.
Power quality assessments evaluate how voltage, current, frequency, switching events, harmonics, demand, and facility loads interact over time.
Adjust equipment sequencing, operating logic, load management, and control strategies to reduce unnecessary electrical stress and coincident demand.
Active filters, passive filters, surge protection, line reactors, isolation, or other conditioning equipment may be evaluated where appropriate.
Storage may support peak-demand management, transient response, ride-through capability, load smoothing, and facility resilience.
Transformers, switchgear, conductors, grounding, distribution, and protective devices can be reviewed against the facility’s current and future loads.
Operating schedules, load sequencing, battery dispatch, generator use, and automated controls may reduce high-demand intervals.
Ongoing measurement can help verify corrective results, detect new conditions, establish operating baselines, and support predictive maintenance.
Each assessment is developed around the facility’s electrical system, equipment, operating profile, disturbance history, maintenance records, and business priorities.
Gather utility bills, one-line diagrams, equipment data, trip histories, maintenance records, operating schedules, and known facility concerns.
Monitor voltage, current, harmonics, demand, imbalance, transients, and relevant electrical events at selected facility locations.
Correlate electrical measurements with trips, equipment failures, operating changes, process interruptions, and utility conditions.
Evaluate controls, filtering, storage, conditioning, distribution upgrades, load management, and operating changes.
Measure post-correction performance, verify operating improvements, and establish a baseline for continuous monitoring.
Tell us about recurring trips, motor or drive failures, unstable controls, unexplained downtime, high demand, equipment overheating, or other electrical concerns. AWP will help identify an appropriate assessment pathway.
