Mains Voltage Measurement

When the electricity network is mentioned, it is understood that a network formed to convey the generated electrical energy to the consumers. The electricity network consists of the following elements:

  • Electrical power generating plants
  • Transmission lines that transfer this electrical energy to distribution centers
  • Composite distribution lines that provide electrical connection to consumers

To be economically feasible, power plants are built to a large size and are generally installed in dams, in areas with ease of access to fuel resources or in areas close to renewable energy sources, but mostly away from residential areas. The electricity generated in these areas is transferred to the transmission and distribution network by increasing the voltage. In this way, energy is transported very far from the point where it is produced, sometimes outside the borders of the country. The energy transported in this way is delivered to the energy distribution centers. Distribution centers are generally the organizations that operate the regional distribution network. The voltage of the incoming electrical energy is reduced to the distribution voltage level. Then, the voltage of the electrical energy reaching the service center from the energy distribution network is reduced to the required voltage level.

In electrical power systems, changes in the voltage and frequency of the grid and waveform disturbances in the current drawn from the grid indicate energy quality. Most electrical devices are not sensitive to mains voltage and frequency variations. At the same time, devices controlled by electronic circuits, which are widely used in recent years, are very sensitive to energy quality. The complex circuits inside these devices are highly affected by disturbances in the network. In order to avoid such harmful consequences, the mains voltage values ​​must be within the specified limits. Mains voltage measurements are made for this purpose.

In particular, electronic devices are not resistant to overvoltages. Although measures are taken to ensure adequate protection during production, these devices are affected by voltage fluctuations and may malfunction. If a capacitor in the network or a plant is switched off or commissioned, high-frequency components are generated in the voltage, which causes the devices to malfunction.

Our company, within the framework of electrical safety examinationsconducts network voltage measurements in accordance with relevant regulations, standards and test methods published by local and foreign organizations. In this regard, our company, the Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK), Accredited according to TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 standard.
