Identificación de alternativas de mejora en la gestión de energía eléctrica en el área de soldadura en la empresa Ciauto Cia. Ltda. - Ciudad del Auto unicada en la ciudad de Ambato, mediante el desarrollo de auditoría eléctrica

Abstract

In this degree document, an electrical audit of the welding area of the vehicle assembly company CIAUTO CIA. LTDA. - CIUDAD DEL AUTO., located in the city of Ambato, with the aim of proposing alternatives for improvement in electrical energy management. The company for whom this degree work is intended requested an analysis of the quality of electrical energy to detect the inconveniences in its facilities such as: power factor, current harmonics, imbalances; that succeed in altering the electrical network of the electricity distribution company EEASA. In several visits to CIAUTO CIA. LTDA. - CIUDAD DEL AUTO.,the equipment installed in the welding area was identified, with low and medium frequency spot welding being the most used equipment throughout the working day, as well as the water pumps used for the cooling system. With the support of measurement equipment, the respective electrical values were recorded, in order to establish that the operational limits of energy quality are met, such as lighting levels and thermographic inspection, in accordance with current regulations.
