ENG: The paper analyzes negative impact of poor-quality electricity on the performance of electrical installations. Particular attention is paid to the ways to improve power quality under the conditions of industrial enterprises. Use of “individual” LC-filters to protect extra important electric drives; use of “group” devices to compensate negative effect of noisy electricity at a workshop level (power active rectifiers are meant with their potential integration into the available converters for the controlled electric drives); and to inhibit voltage distortions within the areas of their origination (i.e. the mains protection against the root cause) are possible means to solve the problems.
