What are the critical considerations when designing power systems for industrial manufacturing facilities?

Industrial power system design addresses: high starting current impact of large motors with reduced voltage starting methods, power factor correction with automatic capacitor banks avoiding resonance with harmonic sources, process continuity requirements determining UPS and generator specifications, segregation of sensitive electronic loads from motor loads, variable frequency drive application and harmonic mitigation, medium voltage distribution for large loads, arc flash hazard mitigation with current-limiting devices and remote operation, and predictive maintenance through power monitoring systems.
