Understanding Voltage Swells
If you were to ask a handful of customers what they consider a ‘power surge’ to be, you would get a multitude of answers — anything from a lightning strike…
Heat Pumps and the Winter Peak
As American homes shift from gas furnaces to heat pumps, the load that used to burn gas now arrives at the residential transformer — in winter, at the coldest hours,…
Region of Interest (ROI) Snapshots in Merlin™
Power Quality recordings are the primary source of evidence in any PQ investigation. The problem is that these recordings can be weeks long and contain hundreds of captures, which makes…
Merlin™ Document Writer
The Merlin™ Document Writer turns a completed power quality analysis into finished, shareable documents: customer letters, executive summaries, technical reports, regulatory responses, and more. It works from reusable templates that…
Understanding Voltage Phase Rotation in Three-Phase Systems
Three-phase power systems depend not only on equal voltages between phases but also on the order in which those phases reach their peaks — a property called phase rotation. Incorrect…
Analyzing Motor Startups with the Bolt
Induction motors are ever popular in today’s world and can be found in most areas of life — industrial, agricultural, and even residential settings. These motors can have high inrush…
Grid Readiness for Data Centers
Global cumulative investment in data centers between 2026 and 2030 is projected to reach $3 trillion. This explosive growth is straining electric grids worldwide. This white paper summarizes the IEEE…
Power Quality for the Non-PQ Professional
This paper provides a plain-language overview of power quality — what it is, why it matters, and what can be done to maintain it. It is written for professionals outside…
Merlin™ Chat in PQ Canvass
Merlin™ Chat is a conversational AI interface within PQ Canvass that allows engineers to ask natural-language questions about a power quality recording and receive detailed, technically grounded answers. Built on…
Modern Flicker Analysis Using PQ Canvass and Merlin™
Voltage flicker is one of the most common power quality complaints reported by utility customers. The term flicker refers to visible changes in lighting intensity caused by rapid fluctuations in…
Automated Stripchart Analysis With Merlin™
In power quality investigations, triggered waveforms often claim the spotlight, but it is the stripchart that tells the story of the entire recording. Reviewing this data manually is tedious, error-prone,…
