What is power quality?
In an ideal three-phase power system, voltages are at nominal magnitude and frequency, perfectly balanced, and with a perfect sinusoidal waveform. Any disturbance on one parameter (magnitude, frequency, waveform, or symmetry) is classified as a power quality issue. There are a variety of power quality disturbances – voltage dips, harmonics, transients, etc. – all of which can have negative impacts on the electrical system and equipment, such as power outage, device damage, failure, overheating, degraded performance, and reduced equipment life.
AccuSine PFV+ stops power quality issues like voltage sags and flicker due to load current fluctuations (VAR compensation). For larger power quality applications, AccuSine PFV+ can be combined with a capacitor bank to reduce system costs. It can add or subtract to the capacitor bank output, achieving high-speed reactive compensation with infinite resolution. It also provides high-speed Power factor correction where traditional capacitor banks are unable to track loads.
Benefits
- Fast ROI - displacement PF correction stops utility charges for poor PF (instant savings where penalty is charged).
- Maximizes uptime and production scheduling - mains current balancing prevents unwanted/unplanned stoppages.
- Easy expansion or retrofit - parallel connection means initial or additional unit installation with no load interruptions
- Simple and intuitive to use - touch-screen HMI with communication via RS485/RJ45 connector.
- Easy remote monitoring and operational control (via Ethernet TCP/IP).
- Flexible and scalable.
- Peace of mind - worry-free power factor correction without the risk of resonance.
