Ensuring Power Quality in Mission-Critical Facilities

Philip Keebler, technical advisor to PBE Engineers, joins the podcast to discuss the relationship between power quality and electrical safety with Ellen Parson in Episode 78. In this discussion, Keebler explores how poor power quality, such as voltage sags, transients, and harmonics, can compromise electrical safety, increase arc flash and fire risks, and cause critical equipment failures. He also dives into the importance of proactive design, proper grounding, and overcurrent protection coordination to mitigate these hazards.
