# Power Quality Risk Analysis

> PQRA is our application that reads a power quality recording and returns a report on what it found. Access begins with a request to join the waitlist.

Power quality tools report what happened. PQRA reports what it costs, what it risks and what to fix first, from the waveforms a facility actually recorded.

## What comes back

- **Scored risk by recording.** Each recording is graded against measurable power quality behavior, so a team can rank its locations by operational risk.
- **An economic impact layer.** Electrical findings become ranges of downtime and restart cost that finance, operations and reliability teams can use.
- **Evidence traceability.** Each conclusion links to the source measurements and the report sections behind it, so reviews, audits and remediation plans stay defensible.
- **Equipment risk.** Transformers, drives and critical loads are assessed one by one for remaining service life and failure probability under present conditions.
- **Reports ready for action.** The output is structured for engineers, facility leaders and outside reviewers, with clear next actions and evidence a reader can follow.

## How it works

There is no dashboard to build and there are no thresholds to configure. The recordings go in and a scored report comes back.

**Upload the recordings.** PQRA reads recordings from any power quality instrument in their native formats, with no file conversion and no middleware. PQRA accepts MF4, PQDIF, COMTRADE, CSV, TDMS and HDF5.

**PQRA scores them.** PQRA maps each recording against indexed standards. Then it computes risk grades, financial exposure and equipment impact.

**Review and act.** An interactive dashboard shows the scored risk, the cost of the impact, the equipment assessments and recommendations backed by evidence, ready for the team.

## Who it is for

---

**Electrical engineering teams.** Findings backed by source data to diagnose conditions, document risk and define the scope of remediation.

---

**Reliability and maintenance leaders.** Interventions ranked by asset impact and downtime exposure instead of by alarm volume.

---

**Plant and facility management.** Technical quality issues translated into operational and budget terms for planning cycles.

---

**Energy and compliance functions.** Clear evidence chains and reporting quality for internal review and outside requests.

## PQRA and the PQR Simulator

The [PQR Simulator](https://3dfs.com/technology/pqr-simulator) runs in the browser on figures a visitor sets or a preset supplies, and it labels itself an educational simulation. PQRA reads the recordings an instrument actually wrote.

## Getting access

Access to PQRA begins with a request through Join the Waitlist on pqra.3dfs.com.

[Join the PQRA waitlist](https://pqra.3dfs.com/request-access/)

Opens pqra.3dfs.com in a new tab. Access to PQRA starts on a waitlist, so this asks for access rather than opening an account.
