Power Quality Issues that May Affect Your Electronic Devices
Power Quality Issues
- Some electronic devices are sensitive to electrical line interferences and poor power quality.
- Normally this can be resolved by purchasing a plug strip that has power conditioning and power filtering capabilities.
- If the problem is extreme then an Uninterpretable Power Supply UPS can be purchased which has the same power conditioning and power filtering capabilities as well.
- Plugging the computer into either of these two units should solve this problem.
