Survey Objective
In facilities experiencing equipment problems that appear to be power related, on-site surveys generally are required in order to verify that power disturbances are the cause of electronic equipment malfunction or failure. The specific objectives of such a survey, listed in order of priority, follow:
• Determine condition and adequacy of the wiring and grounding system
• Determine ac voltage quality at the point of use
• Determine sources of power disturbances and their impacts of power disturbances on equipment performance
• Analyze findings to identify immediate and long-term cost-effective solutions
