Your Customers' Issues & Solutions

Problems

• Any significant voltage variation, even for a small fraction of a second, can cause malfunction of drives
• Result can be hours of downtime and significant costs
• Significant scrap is caused  - not always possible to recycle material
• Lost profit
• Customer needs to meet Utility contract regarding flicker
• Customer has small supply and requires large amount of power for short periods of time

Solutions

Active Voltage Conditioner (AVC) will correct voltage variations; voltage sags, voltage phase unbalance, 3 phase harmonics & voltage swells (option)

• AVC’s can be applied to groups of machines, individual machines or a complete site - available in indoor or custom outdoor enclosures.
• AVC’s available at low voltage and medium voltage to 36 kV
• AVC’s have small footprint and very high efficiency

Power Flow Controller (PFC)

• Is able to provide active VARs that will correct for Power Factor and flicker even if the load profile changes.
• PFC with storage can be used for demand reduction. Applicable for mining, rail (DC option available) and other high peak power type loads.

Benefits

AVC allows process to continue

• Costly unplanned production stoppages are avoided
• Scrap material and emergency maintenance are reduced
• Profits are retained
• Payback period for AVC investment typically less than 12 months

PFC helps reduce high demand charges

• Stabilizes the electric system
• Improves operation of equipment
• Lower cost of operation.
