Forte's measurement service provides a complete picture of your facility's electrical health. Using the HIOKI PQ3198-94 — an IEC 61000-4-30 Class A power quality analyzer — our engineers capture every detail: reactive power demand, harmonic spectrum, voltage events, flicker, power factor trends and load profiles.
The measurement campaign runs continuously for a extended period, covering all operational scenarios — peak production, shift changes, weekend operation and idle periods. The result is a comprehensive dataset that reveals the root cause of power quality issues and enables precise system sizing.
Six critical dimensions of power quality, captured simultaneously with the HIOKI PQ3198-94 across all phases.
Individual harmonic measurement up to 50th order for both voltage and current. THD calculation, inter-harmonics, and K-factor for transformer loading assessment. Identify which loads are injecting distortion.
Continuous cos φ and tan φ profiling across all load conditions. Displacement and true power factor (DPF & TPF). Capacitive/inductive reactive power demand with time-of-day analysis for optimal system sizing.
Detection and time-stamped logging of voltage sags, swells, interruptions and transients per IEC 61000-4-30. RMS variation tracking and event classification for root cause analysis.
Short-term (Pst) and long-term (Plt) flicker severity measurement per IEC 61000-4-15. Critical for arc furnace environments and facilities near sensitive loads.
Active (kW), reactive (kVAr) and apparent power (kVA) profiling over 7+ days. Peak demand identification, load factor calculation and demand trend analysis for compensation sizing.
High-speed transient capture for motor starting, transformer energization and capacitor switching events. Inrush current recording helps identify equipment stress points.
Every Forte measurement is performed with the HIOKI PQ3198-94 — a portable, field-rated power quality analyzer trusted by utilities and industrial facilities worldwide.

Initial consultation to understand your facility's electrical topology, identify measurement points (main incoming, critical feeders, problematic loads) and plan the campaign schedule.
Our engineers install the HIOKI PQ3198-94 at designated measurement points with flexible CT clamps. Non-invasive — no shutdown required. GPS time sync ensures accurate timestamps.
Continuous recording covering all operational scenarios: peak production, night shifts, weekends and idle periods. Real-time remote monitoring ensures data integrity throughout.
Detailed offline analysis by Forte's power quality engineers. Harmonic spectrum, PF trends, voltage events, flicker severity, load profiles — all compiled into a comprehensive report with solution recommendations and ROI estimates.
Every measurement engagement concludes with a detailed report and a face-to-face presentation of findings, ensuring full transparency and understanding.
