Power Quality Correction
Raising energy efficiency should not have a ripple effect on power quality

Technologies such as variable-speed drives and robotic welders are designed to lower energy costs. They also can give rise to a wave of power quality issues such as harmonics, low power factor, and voltage sags.

We offer a full range of ReactiVar® and AccuSine® equipment to help you improve energy efficiency — without unwanted side effects.Our team of experts offer the support you need from system planning and design to installation, start-up and commissioning, and service (see our Solution Cycle). You can reduce utility costs, improve productivity and extend the operating life of your equipment.

Consider the following questions:

Does your utility charge a penalty for low power factor?
Is your process sensitive to transient surges?
Does your process have rapid load fluctuations?
Does your facility experience sudden voltage drops (flickers) due to equipment operation (welders, cranes)?
Is your process sensitive to voltage sags?
Does your facility need to comply with standards such as IEEE 519, UK G5/4, IEC61000-3.2, 3-4, C-TICK?
Do you need to limit current and voltage harmonic distortion levels in your plant due to extensive use of harmonic generating devices such as VFD, DC drive, power electronics?
