Four Key Reasons to Conduct a Power Analysis:

Unbalanced Circuits in Modified Premises
Business premises that have been expanded or modified over time are likely to be operating with unbalanced and possibly underrated circuits and switchboards. A power analysis will determine whether all phases are loaded equally so that no unbalanced current is flowing in the neutral circuit.
Harmonic Distortion from Modern Equipment

Modern day electrical equipment (including LED lighting) relies on electronically controlled switching techniques. The non-linear load that this creates on the supply causes significant harmonic distortion and power factor problems, resulting in power wastage and unnecessary costs.
Risks of Incorrectly Loaded Switchboards

Existing businesses with switchboards and cables that are incorrectly loaded are prone to major problems including equipment failure, loss of productivity, danger to personnel, and legal liability.
New Premises, New Risks

If you have recently moved buildings, it is a good idea to conduct a power analysis to ensure you are beginning your new chapter with no liability or unnecessary power wastage.
