Abstract :
A description is given of the effects of nonlinear loads on utility power along with the power quality needs of modern electronic data processing (EDP) equipment. Topics covered include the quality of utility power, power line disturbances (PLDs) and their types and frequencies of occurrence, and expectations for the future. Also discussed are the utility power needs of modern EDP equipment, and such equipment´s resiliency to PLDs. A system overview and design implementations and trade-offs to enhance resiliency to PLDs are considered
