The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) and SGS perform data center power quality analysis to monitor and evaluate the power supplied to data centers, helping validate the reliability, quality, and long-term performance of mission-critical electrical infrastructure.
What Does Power Quality Analysis Assess in Data Centers?
Our inspectors assess electrical power use in data centers by identifying fluctuations that may signal overloaded circuits, equipment issues, or server disruptions. Early detection can increase operational uptime, reduce equipment damage, and improve system performance.
Data center power quality analysis assesses several factors that can affect critical IT systems, including:
- Voltage Stability
- Frequency Variations
- Current Levels
- Harmonic Distortion (THD)
- Power Factor
- Load Balance
- Transient and Electrical Noise
- Sags, Swells, and Spikes
- Electrical Disturbances and Interruptions
- UPS and PDU Performance Issues
- Temperature Variations
Energy Efficiency and Equipment Performance Backed by Industry Standards
We deliver power quality analysis throughout each project phase, from commissioning and operational assessments to troubleshooting and ongoing monitoring. Our team applies key regulatory frameworks and safety standards, including ASME/API, OSHA, ASHRAE, and ISO. While our services are tailored to your project’s scope and requirements, our power quality assessments align with industry power quality standards.
Common standards in data center power quality analysis include, but are not limited to:
- IEEE 519: Limits harmonic distortion.
- IEEE 1159: Defines power quality event monitoring and classification.
- IEEE 1100: Guidance for grounding, bonding, and sensitive electronics.
- IEC 61000: International standards for power quality and EMC.
