As Electricity Continues To Improve The Quality Of Life, Who’s Improving The Quality Of Electricity?

Cooper was taking care of voltage sags, blinks, and surges long before “power quality” became a buzzword.

Today you are faced with an ongoing challenge: how to meet the increasing demand for clean, reliable power for your customers. Because the more they rely on computers, communications, and automation in their operations, the more susceptible they are to power quality disturbances.

There’s a company that can help you turn this challenge into an opportunity—Cooper Power Systems. We have the breadth of products, extensive support systems, and experience to make power quality a strategic competitive advantage in helping you win and satisfy customers. Since the early 1980s, we have been actively involved in developing and applying power quality standards such as IEEE 519. And we have story after story of cost-effective power quality solutions that work—all the way down to the bottom line. At Carolina Power and Light, we did a systems study that provided vital information to reduce the risk of costly equipment failure and downtime due to power disruptions.

Rather than build a dedicated substation for a large manufacturing customer, Georgia Power used our current-limiting fuses to prevent voltage dips instead. They improved power quality, quality of service, and reliability while avoiding substantial costs in customer downtime. Cooper’s R-Tran™ K-Plus Transformers have been installed at a number of sites to better withstand thermal stress caused by severe harmonics. In rural areas, our Storm Trapper HE surge arresters protect against stray voltage. And at utilities across the country, the application of our UltraSIL arresters, capacitors, automatic transfer switches, and voltage regulators is improving power quality every day. Our Systems Engineers can help quantify problems, determine solutions, and provide cost justification.
