Abstract :
This paper aims to analyze disturbance effects related to the loss of power quality on transformers, cables, and induction motors, amongst others. In addition to this, the relationship between power quality and extra costs associated to the increase in power consumption for a typical industry is also taken into account. The study uses a modern computational platform known as the SABER simulator that utilizes the time domain strategy to represent the system components. Qualitative as well as quantitative analysis are carried out to illustrate the phenomenon
