Outram’s Fast Frequency Analysers Meet Dynamic Containment Frequency Measurement Requirements
The Challenge: Stabilising the Low-Inertia Electricity Network As the UK continues its transition towards net zero emissions, the increased adoption of decarbonisation and low-carbon technologies has led to a marked reduction in the stability of the electricity system. Transmission and Distribution Network Operators are grappling with lower inertia and larger losses. To stabilise the system […]
Understanding the New ENA EREC G5/5 Harmonics Standard
Changes to Power Quality Requirements The Energy Networks Association (ENA) has recently released an updated version of its EREC G5 harmonics standard, moving from G5/4 to the new G5/5 specification. As an electronic design house and manufacturer of state-of-the-art Power Quality Analysers and Fault Level Monitors, Outram Research has closely examined the changes between the […]
How to Prevent Voltage Sag
Unplanned power disruptions can wreak havoc on facilities. One of the most common and often overlooked threats is the issue of voltage sag. While not indicative of a complete loss of power in each situation, these brief voltage dips can still damage equipment and disrupt operations. In facilities where continuous operational runtime is important, voltage […]

[…]
Validating Short Circuit Studies with Short Circuit Current Measurement
From initial design there are very few electrical systems that do not change over their lifetime. During this time it would be reasonable to see changes in load, changes in source of supply, connectivity with other systems, conductor replacement and change through general equipment repair and maintenance. As a result of these changes, updated Short […]
