CONSULTING SERVICES
MC West provides a variety of consulting services to clients in the mission critical infrastructure industries. These clients include Fortune 500 & government data centers, semiconductor, pharmaceutical & other critical industrial firms, TV & media clients, UPS equipment manufacturers themselves, and even other A&E / power quality consulting firms. The majority of power quality problems in the USA are actually caused, not by utility problems, but by simple but oft-times very confusing grounding and wiring issues. We can help you sort it all out and perhaps even avoid an unnecessary capital purchase of UPS or other mitigation equipment.
