At SMUD, we recognize how much your business depends on the reliable operation of your electronic equipment. While we can't guarantee 100% disturbance-free power, outages on our power distribution system are relatively few and brief, especially when compared to other utilities nationwide. Nature, however, doesn't always cooperate. Lightning, storms, and wind can force tree limbs onto power lines or down a utility pole, causing power spikes and sags and blackouts. At those times, unprotected businesses can be big losers of both product and staff time. Often a business unknowingly creates its own power disturbances. Faulty equipment, improper wiring or grounding, electrical load changes, inadequately regulated temperature or humidity, electrostatic discharge, and radio frequency interference, for example, can all cause trouble. Our Power Quality staff members will help identify problems and potential problems, track down the causes, and recommend the most efficient and cost- effective solution. We can even estimate costs and suggest reliable vendors, so that you're armed with thorough knowledge of your exact needs. In addition, SMUD offers regular low-cost seminars given by the nation's leading experts in power quality.
