  1. Why Your Business Needs Permanent Power Quality Loggers In today’s electrical landscape, power supply is more than just “on” or “off.” Fluctuations, harmonics, sags, swells, transients, and other disturbances can quietly wreak havoc on equipment, uptime, and energy costs. At Dale Instrument Services Ltd, we've helped UK businesses through power quality studies for over 20 years, and one tool that's increasingly pivotal is the Permanent Power Quality Loggers .A permanent power quality logger is a monitoring device installed in your electrical panels or at critical supply points that continuously records voltage, current, harmonics, power factor, frequency, and other electrical parameters over long periods. Unlike portable or temporary loggers, a permanent system is always “on,” capturing data 24/7. How Dale Instrument Services Implements Permanent Power Quality Logging Here’s what businesses can expect when partnering with us to install a permanent power quality monitoring system: Site Survey & Critical Point Identification We assess your electrical system to determine where logging will be most valuable — main supply, distribution boards, sensitive loads, etc. Installation & Baseline Setup Installed permanently and safely, often during maintenance windows. Initial baseline data capture ensures we know what “normal” looks like. Continuous Monitoring & Data Management Data is collected continuously. We offer services to retrieve, store and analyse this data — either by you, or through our consultancy service. Custom reporting, trend analysis, event alarms etc. Actionable Reporting & Mitigation Advice Based on collected data, our engineers help you identify root causes of issues (harmonics, voltage imbalance, spikes, etc.), and recommend corrective measures — e.g. filters, power factor correction, better supply conditioning. Ongoing Support Because systems change (new loads, process changes, seasonal shifts), permanent monitoring means you can adapt — your logger provides early warning if tweaks or

  2. upgrades are needed. Real-World Scenarios Where Permanent PQ Logging Matters Manufacturing plants with expensive equipment that fails intermittently without obvious cause Data centres or server farms where even micro disturbances can affect uptime Hospitals or critical infrastructure requiring reliable power 24/7 Facilities with renewable generation or heavy loads like EV charging where harmonics or load reversals may arise Buildings under performance contracts or those seeking ISO 50001 / energy efficiency certification, where continuous monitoring supports verification and compliance Things to Consider Before Installation To get the full benefit, make sure you address: Logger specification & class: Need to ensure it matches the sensitivity and standard (harmonic order, accuracy class). Sampling rate & memory: Higher sampling rates capture more detail, but use more storage. Memory capacity and data retention policies matter. Power & communications: Permanent loggers generally need a reliable power source + secure data transmission (wired, wireless, cloud). Thresholds & alarms: Predefine what counts as “alarm” or requires action. Maintenance & calibration: The unit itself needs periodic checks to make sure readings stay accurate. Data analysis capacity: Having access to the expertise (either in-house or via consultants) to interpret the data and act on it is essential.

  3. Conclusion For businesses that rely on stable, efficient, and compliant electrical systems, Permanent Power Quality Loggers is not just an expense—it’s an investment in visibility and risk mitigation. The constant stream of data gives you a sharper picture of what’s really going on behind breakers, loads and peak demand. At Dale Instrument Services Ltd, we provide more than just monitoring hardware. We bring the experience, analysis, and technical insight that turn raw power data into actionable solutions. If you’re looking to protect your equipment, reduce costs, meet standards, or simply get peace of mind, let’s talk about how a permanent power quality logging system can work for your setup.If you like, I can also put together a version of this blog with UK case studies from your past clients, or a technical comparison of permanent vs portable loggers.
