The engineer Román Leal, regional representative of the Japanese company Hioki, visited the facilities of the Technological Innovation Park (PIT, Parque de Innovación Tecnológica) of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS, Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa) to give training about the use of the PW3198 power quality analyzer, 22 people met on the Videoconferences Room; PIT-UAS’ collaborators participation stood out, as well as students and teachers of the Technological University of Culiacán and employees of the resident company HunabSys.

The PW3198 is used to know power quality problems in the main network currents, either once it leaves the substation to the company or when it is sent to its application. In an interview, the representative of Hioki specified some functions of the device: «Monitoring the good or bad energy quality the facilities have, correcting the low power factors, the bases imbalances… This will be used to save in power costs, to save in predictive maintenance, to avoid making infractions by the electric supplies in CFE with low power factors. Besides, you can do analysis in solar panels, in machines for power and consumes and to see the alterations that the same devices that they have here generate in the energy».

The training consisted in explaining the functions that the device can perform and the performance it can give, also it was explained the installation of the PW3198 and the results it generates in the work field.

Definitely, the performance of the excellent team with which the PIT-UAS counts in its Smart Eco-Park would be benefited with this device, which would be of great help to guarantee a better use of the energy not only in the facilities of the PIT-UAS only but also at the Rosalina House (UAS) in general. Likewise, it is important to note that the PIT-UAS will maintain contact with the Company Hioki so that, in the future, other devices can be available for the benefit of the Park’s operation.
