Power quality is an important feature in a very wide variety of areas of industry and commerce ranging, for example, from gambling casinos to hospitals and in fact wherever uninterruptible power supplies and transient voltage surges suppression is operated.
Industries, such as that of printing, depend on high quality power supplies and have become very susceptible to power fluctuations, which when they occur can cause equipment to malfunction.
Likewise, hospitals have to ensure that the incoming supply is monitored to ensure that no power fluctuations occur, while gambling operators need to be sure that the incoming power meets the requirements of their machines for customer payout schedules.
The ACR Power Watch does not cure the malfunctions but it does allow the power user to monitor the incoming supply before the equipment is installed, thereby eliminating a potential source of serious problems.
If there is a power problem or the equipment may be susceptible to power fluctuations then an audit with the ACR Power Watch could be the answer.
