Customer challenges
in hotels and other lodging facilities

Modern consumers expect 100% reliability of operations and an all-in-all quality experience when using amenities, especially on vacation. In hotels and other lodging facilities, various power quality problems can arise due to the amount of different electrical equipment used daily, for example, HVAC systems, pumps, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), lighting, and computers.

Current harmonics, voltage imbalances, and low power factor all impact the operation of critical hotel processes. Many countries have power quality standards to comply with and impose penalties on players whose systems pollute the grid. By effectively addressing power quality issues, hotels can direct their attention to core business operations, avoid paying expensive penalties to network operators and ensure a consistent and efficient power supply within their premises.

Processes fed by Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) such as HVAC systems, elevators, escalators, computers, lighting, printers, modern hotel kitchen equipment, TV screens, fire protection system, CCTV, laundry applications, etc.
