GENERAL INDUSTRY
Issues:
- Many processes and controls rely on electronic controls and sensors
- Widespread use of variable speed drives
- Process equipment can be damaged by sudden stoppages
- Frequently specific loads are critical to process
Problems Arise
- Any significant voltage variation, even for a small fraction of a second, can cause malfunction of drives or controls.
- Result can be hours of downtime and substantial costs
- Significant scrap is caused - lost time cannot easily be recovered
- Scrap + Downtime = Loss of Profit Opportunities
Solution:
- Active Voltage Conditioner 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
- AVC’s can be located close to sensitive machinery
Customer Benefits
- AVC allows packaging/bottling process to continue when voltage varies
- Costly unplanned production stoppages are reduced
- Scrap material is diminished
- Potential lost sales due to downtime are avoided
- Profits are retained
- Payback period for AVC investment typically less than 12 months
