SCE and You: Working Together Every Step of the Way

Because we know that our success is largely due to yours, we developed our Power Quality Program to help you ensure continuous, productive operation. We'll get to the bottom of your power quality issues so you can focus on your core business. All you have to do to get started is call us at 1-800-POWERCO. Our process includes the following:

• An introductory meeting. Once we hear from you, we'll begin by learning a little bit about your business. Because every customer's power quality issues are different, we want to know the special needs and concerns you face every day in your industry. Tell us about any problems that you have documented, including the times of occurrence and affected equipment. This is also the time to let us know your concerns about future operations.

• Then, we'll take a look around. After you brief us on your operations and daily procedures, we will perform a visual inspection to check your electrical system, load, wiring, and grounding -- as well as the types of machinery, electronics, and other equipment you have on-site.

• From there, we enter the monitoring phase. Now we're ready to take measurements of your electrical system. Using state-of-the-art equipment, we'll take baseline measurements of normal electrical activity to monitor usage patterns for variances in voltage and current to get an accurate picture of your power quality needs.

• Finally, a diagnosis and prescription. After the SCE team performs thorough diagnostics, we'll provide you with a written report of our findings, including actions you can take to resolve present problems and preventative measures to avoid future power quality issues. If new equipment is required to protect your electrical system, the information presented in the report will assist you in making informed, cost-conscious decisions.

• Check-ups, if needed. As you upgrade technology or equipment, you SCE will continue to assist you by recommending additional ways to maintain business productivity.  Just contact us again.
