Whether you are new to the study of power quality, or an experienced PQ pro looking for a quick reference, IEEE Standard 1250 is the place to start.

IEEE 1250 identifies and categorizes many common power quality (PQ) problems that can occur within a power line network, as well as strategies for mitigation.

IEEE 1250 is a "gateway" document that provides an overview of power quality issues, then references more detailed IEEE standards to read for in-depth information. It is this "gateway" aspect makes IEEE 1250 a foundational reference for anyone involved in power quality.  The goal of this whitepaper is to provide a brief introduction to the power quality topics introduced in the IEEE 1250 Standard.

This White Paper Includes:

• IEEE 1250 - The Foundational Reference
• Power Quality Issues by Category
• Steady State Voltage Signals Explained
• The Seven Levels of Tolerance
• Disturbance Levels
• Economic Analysis of Power Quality Solutions
