Invisible Power Quality problems in your electrical installation can lead to unexpected production stops, damage to sensitive electronics and unnecessary component wear. Within the FMCG sector, where margins are small and continuity is crucial, stable voltage and power quality is not a luxury but a prerequisite for operational reliability. Our engineers proactively analyse the cause of your challenges, ensuring you have an installation that does what it is supposed to do.
In the FMCG industry, electrical installations are becoming increasingly complex due to the increase in non-linear loads, such as variable speed drives and LED lighting. This often causes harmonics. Although these problems often remain invisible, the impact on your efficiency is significant. At HyTEPS, we believe that a clear diagnosis is the basis for any solution. We look beyond the symptoms; we model, simulate and analyse your entire installation to ensure continuity.
A structural solution starts with a factual foundation. Our engineers perform accurate Power Quality measurements on site, ranging from short-term analyses to long-term 'continuous waveform recording'. By combining this data with advanced computer simulations and modelling, we can predict exactly how your installation will react to load changes. This prevents guesswork and guarantees a solution that gets to the root cause.
The modern FMCG environment is full of non-linear loads, such as LED lighting and motor drives, which cause harmonic contamination. This 'contamination' leads to overheating of transformers, unnecessary wear of cables and unexplained tripping of protective devices. We analyse total harmonic distortion (THD) and implement active or passive filters to minimise mains loads and improve efficiency.
Short voltage variations are often the reason why an entire production line suddenly stops. Sensitive control electronics and PLCs are particularly susceptible to this. HyTEPS analyses the immunity of your installation and advises on solutions that absorb these dips. This protects your processes against external disturbances on the public grid and internal switching phenomena, which directly improves continuity.
Reliability is not a one-off action, but a continuous process. With our advanced monitoring systems, we keep an eye on the Power Quality of your installation 24/7. By recognising trends before they lead to a failure, we can make proactive adjustments. This shifts your strategy from reactive repair to proactive management, keeping you in control of your critical infrastructure at all times.
