Avoid Stability Testing During Power Backup Periods Due to Unstable Conditions

Understanding the Tip: Why power backup periods pose risk to testing validity: Backup power systems like diesel generators or UPS units are essential for continuity during outages, but they often introduce fluctuations in voltage, current, and equipment cooling. During these periods, stability chambers, refrigerators, analytical instruments, and HVAC systems may operate under compromised control—affecting sample…
