There are many definitions for power quality according to utility, load aspects, users, IEE dictionary, IEC

There are different definitions for power quality.

According to Utility, power quality is reliability.

According to load aspect, it is defined as the power supplied for satisfactory performance of all
equipment i.e., all sensitive equipment. ,,,,

This depends upon the end user. According to end user point of view, it is defined as, “any power
problem manifested in voltage, current, or frequency deviations that result in failure or misoperation of
customer equipment”

13.2.3 Transients Measurement Transients are by nature rapidly varying signals and have a wide range
of waveforms, amplitudes and durations. Transients can be classified into two categories, namely
impulsive transients and oscillatory transients. These terms reflect the wave shape of a current or
voltage transient. Obtaining their signatures allows their classification into a few typical waveforms. The
requirements for the data acquisition of transients are higher than for the r.m.s. measurement. The
frequency spectrum of transients of, for example, a.c. main transients can be up to 10MHz (100ns) and
for large band amplitude up to 1MHz. The sampling rate must be at least twice the maximum frequency,
but practically it should be 10 times higher in order to record the original waveform.
