How ageing analysers create blind spots in electrical systems

Power quality meters are typically treated as fit-and-forget devices, sitting inside panels for decades without much attention. As electrical environments evolve, many legacy instruments create blind spots

Long-life assets can soon become vulnerable when product support ends, explained John Mitchell, global sales and marketing director at CP Automation, a power quality specialist.

For engineers reliant on discontinued and outdated power quality meters, the challenge is twofold:

• The hardware lacks an upgrade path.
