ALPHA ENGINEERINGPower & Energy · Since 1979
We put monitoring on the affected circuits, capture the events as they happen, and analyze the waveforms to find the source. Then we tell you plainly what is causing it and what it takes to resolve, whether that sits inside your fence or outside it. We have no equipment to sell either way.
What you end up with: a measured answer, and a fix that holds.Most facilities try the first two before they try the third, usually more than once.
The vendor proposes a fix based on their product. They can't evaluate your incoming power or wider system, and they're selling the fix.
Fits well if: the equipment itself is clearly the issue and everything upstream is ruled out.Schedule around the trips and treat them as a cost of doing business. Cheapest short term, but the losses just stop getting counted.
Fits well if: the trips are infrequent and cheap enough that solving them isn't worth it.Monitoring is installed at the panels to capture real trip events, showing whether the cause is utility-side or facility-side before anyone proposes a fix.
Fits well if: the vendor and utility keep blaming each other and you want a real answer.A power quality investigation isn't a guess dressed up as an answer. It's a defined sequence that produces a specific, defensible finding.
Let's find out what monitoring would actually show on your line. No proposal until we both understand what's happening.
