Power Quality Services

Comprehensive Solutions to Protect Your Medical Equipment Investment

At The Rad-X Filter, we don’t just provide power filtration products – we deliver expert power quality services designed to identify, prevent, and solve electrical disturbances affecting your critical medical equipment.

Our team brings decades of specialized experience in healthcare power quality management, helping facilities create and maintain optimal operating environments for diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, and interventional systems.

Specific Problem Evaluation

Identify the Root Cause of Equipment Issues

Experts agree that 70% or more of the problems affecting your critical business equipment may be power quality (PQ) related. 70% or more!

Often, these problems are not easily recognized. They don’t necessarily appear to be so-called “power problems.” The lights don’t have to go out and you don’t always smell smoke!

The truth is that PQ-related problems may cause symptoms that look like “normal” hardware problems or software “bugs.”

Our Proven Approach

For nearly two decades, we have been successfully evaluating power quality problems affecting the operation of sensitive equipment in a variety of business sectors including, but not limited to:

  • Data processing
  • Telecommunications
  • Manufacturing
  • Medical and healthcare

We attribute our success in this difficult area to a thorough understanding of the relationship between power quality and electronic equipment performance.

Simple and Effective Process

Our approach is simple and effective:

First, we evaluate the problem and determine if it is, in fact, power quality related or not.

If it is, we will provide you with recommendations for an appropriate course of action.

If we determine that it is not a PQ-related issue, you will have eliminated an important variable in the troubleshooting process.

EMI, RFI and ESD Testing and Mapping

Identify and Mitigate Radiated Disturbances

Radiated disturbances can be a source of serious problems for certain electronic equipment, particularly sensitive medical imaging and therapy systems.

Comprehensive Testing

APQS is prepared to perform complete EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), RFI (Radio Frequency Interference), and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) testing and mapping to determine:

  • Field strength and intensity levels
  • Possible source(s) of these radiated sources of disturbance
  • Geographic distribution and affected areas

Equipment vulnerability and risk assessment

Detailed Mapping and Reporting

Our written report will include:

  • Field strength measurements and analysis
  • Maps of affected area(s)
  • Possible source(s) identification
  • Recommended course of action
  • Mitigation strategies and shielding solutions

The Power Quality HealthCheck™

Prevent Problems Before They Impact Your Facility

Preventing problems before they can impact your business makes good sense. The Power Quality HealthCheck™ is a proactive service designed to do just that.

What We Evaluate

Using a combination of visual inspections, interviews with pertinent employees, and specific testing, we will evaluate the current condition of your facility’s operating environment.

The Objective

Identify weaknesses and deficiencies that can result in:

  • Premature equipment failures
  • Unscheduled equipment downtime
  • Lost revenue and business disruption
  • Unnecessary maintenance costs

Non-Intrusive Process

The evaluation is completely non-intrusive, which means that no equipment downtime is required. Your facility operations continue uninterrupted while we assess your electrical environment.

Comprehensive Report

The deliverable is a written report documenting:

  • All findings and test results
  • Conclusions and root cause analysis
  • Specific recommendations to solve any problems found
  • Strategies to enhance existing operating conditions

Why Choose Our Power Quality Services

In the final analysis, the performance of your critical business equipment will only be as good as the operating environment that you create for it. Applied Power Quality Solutions (APQS) is committed to helping you create and maintain that proper operating environment.

  • Prioritized action items for improvement

Grounding Electrode System (GES) Evaluation and Testing

The Foundation of Your Electrical Environment

The GES is a fundamental component of the facility’s operating environment. Originally designed for electrical safety, the GES has also become the point of zero voltage reference for all electronic equipment in the facility.

That is an important task and as such requires a degree of attention and management.

Our Grounding Services

APQS offers the following grounding system evaluation and testing services:

Detailed Reporting

The deliverable is a written report detailing:

  • All test results and measurements
  • Conclusions and compliance assessment
  • Specific recommendations as appropriate
  • Remediation strategies if needed

New Construction and Renovation Plan Review

Protect Your Investment from Day One

Has power quality been fully considered in your new construction or renovation plans?

Unfortunately, our experience indicates that it has probably not. Power quality is a highly specialized area and as such is often neglected during the design phase of the project.

APQS is prepared to represent your long-term interests and work with your design team to ensure that power quality issues are fully considered in construction design.

Our Objectives

  • Ensure your new or renovated facility will fully support your critical equipment
  • Achieve maximum productivity with minimum downtime
  • Prevent costly retrofits and corrections after construction
  • Integrate proper grounding, filtration, and power distribution from the start

Who Benefits

This service is ideal for:

  • New imaging centers and medical facilities
  • Hospital expansions and renovations
  • Equipment room upgrades
  • Radiation therapy vault construction
