INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE COMPLEX ONES The effects of Power Quality on LED lighting performance generally receive little attention prior to installation.  Power quality issues such as dips, harmonics, interruptions, can result in expensive, early replacement of damaged or failed LED lighting equipment. As a result, end-users are forced to absorb:  increased Installation costs: over-dimensioning of

Electrification means replacing technologies or processes that use fossil fuels, like internal combustion engines and gas boilers, with electrically-powered equivalents, such as electric vehicles or heat pumps. This shift is driven by the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and promote the use of renewable energy sources.  But agreeing on the details
