Electrical Power Quality Issues and Magnetic Field Measurements

Verkís’ services relate to the design of transmission and distribution systems, industrial systems, communication systems and the installation of electrical power equipment in buildings.

Electricity users expect the supply of energy to be very reliable, but unfortunately the quality of electricity is not always as expected and there are various reasons behind this.

Quality is important

Besides the possibility of a complete blackout, it is important when it comes to assessing the quality of electricity that factors such as fluctuations in voltage and frequency, overtone distortion, and more are assessed correctly and are within the limits set by regulations and standards.

When investing in electronic equipment such as computers, communication systems, computerised controls, and other equipment that can be susceptible to interference, it is important to consider the quality of the voltage available at the location in question to avoid unnecessary costs later on.

Verkís’ project list contains projects related to research on compatibility, power quality, and power disturbances, as well as the design of the systems aimed at minimising both the probability of disturbances and the effects of disturbances. Furthermore, the company has carried out projects related to research and measurements of electromagnetic fields in the environment of electrical equipment and people and evaluated the results with regard to regulations and standards.

Power Quality Assessments

Verkís provides engineering and advisory services related to electrical power quality and magnetic field measurements. Our specialists assess harmonics, voltage disturbances, power quality performance, and electromagnetic fields to help identify issues, ensure compliance with technical requirements, improve system reliability, and support the safe and efficient operation of electrical power systems.


We advise on procurement contracts, supplier selection, and equipment specifications to support technically sound, commercially effective, and reliable infrastructure solutions.


We advise on the selection of emergency and backup power technologies, helping clients optimise reliability, performance, sustainability, and long-term operational security.


We advise on and design grounding and equipotential bonding systems to protect people and equipment, minimise electrical hazards, and ensure safe and reliable operation of power infrastructure.


We conduct power quality assessments and magnetic field measurements to identify disturbances, evaluate electromagnetic field levels, and support the safe and efficient operation of electrical power systems.


We assess faults, voltage disturbances, harmonics, and other power system events to identify causes, minimise operational risks, and support the safe and efficient operation of electrical infrastructure.


We assess environmental, technical, and site-specific conditions to ensure that electrical systems and equipment are installed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with project requirements and applicable standards.
