Power Quality Overview

Defined by China National Standard GB/T 32507—2024, power quality stands for the overall electrical properties at specified grid nodes, indicating how much AC power supplied by public grids deviates from ideal benchmarks in voltage, current, frequency and waveform. It determines the stability, safety and energy efficiency of all electrical equipment.
Ideal mains power has fixed frequency, pure sine waves and steady rated voltage. Balanced three-phase electricity features identical phase amplitudes with 120° phase separation, without fluctuation, distortion or unbalance. A key evaluation indicator for grids, power quality covers power generation through end consumption and underpins secure, efficient and economical grid operation.
With massive integration of wind and solar power and extensive application of nonlinear impulse loads including inverters, EV chargers, precision industrial devices and data centers, power quality problems keep worsening. Rising demands from advanced manufacturing and daily electricity usage also make power quality critical to production efficiency, equipment lifespan, power safety and reliable grid operation.
