EPISODE 13:

Smooth and steady: The foundation of power quality

We all love it when things just work out as you’d expect– the waiter gets your order right, it doesn’t rain after getting a carwash, and your gadgets turn on with a simple click. Everything just runs like clockwork. But in reality, that isn’t always the case, especially when it comes to electricity.

From harmonics to flickers and surges, power quality issues can disrupt everything from industrial operations to our daily lives.

Tune in to this episode with Uğur Yaşa, Global Product Marketing Manager for Global Product Group Grid Components at Hitachi Energy for an insightful conversation about the many causes of poor power quality, sustainable solutions to address these challenges, and new technologies that improve grid reliability while protecting the environment and surrounding communities.
