As companies undertake compliance projects to avoid hefty surcharges they are turning to Livingston for test equipment to help develop detailed energy surveys and monitor power quality, reliability and suitability.
"The Climate Change Levy is just one reason why companies should monitor power quality", said Geoff Kempster, Inventory Manager for Livingston UK.
"Poor power quality also affects uptime and can cause computers and production lines to shut down incurring high costs in terms of repair, clean-up and lost production or service".
To help those responsible for industrial and commercial site power supplies understand the basics of power quality, Livingston has developed two independent technical brochures.
"Managing your power quality" and "Electrical power management" are designed to provide an understanding towards diagnosis of poor power quality, help identify its causes and reduce future risks.
Both are available from the company's website.
