Dear Customers and Partners, As China’s National Day approaches, YT Electric would like to express our sincere appreciation to all customers, distributors and partners for your continued trust and support. Please be informed that our office will be closed for the China National Day Holiday from October 1 to October 7, 2026. During this period, responses to emails, technical inquiries and ord...
SVG and AHF Components: What Determines Accurate and Long-Term Performance? A 400 V plant may install two power-quality cabinets with the same rated current and expect the same result. Months later, one follows peak load while the other derates, produces more acoustic noise, or leaves compensation error at the point of common coupling (PCC). The difference lies in the sensing chain, ...
From Energy Waste to Energy Intelligence: How AHF and SVG Transform Industrial Power Systems Why distorted current becomes energy waste A six-pulse VFD, rectifier, UPS front end, or welding supply draws current in pulses rather than a clean sine wave. Those pulses contain characteristic harmonic components, and the resulting Total Harmonic Distortion increases RMS current even...
Quick Answer An APFC panel is not simply permitted or forbidden on generator power. Compatibility depends on generator capacity, the power factor of the load that stays online, the size of each load step, harmonic distortion, available short-circuit capacity, governor and excitation response, the generator manufacturer’s limits, and the logic inside the APFC controller. On many standby syste...
A fixed capacitor bank is often the most economical way to correct power factor — provided the load stays reasonably steady. When motors cycle or production changes by shift, it may overcompensate overnight and undercompensate at peak. An Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) panel switches capacitor steps as demand changes; a Static Var Generator (SVG) adjusts reactive power continuously...
Certificate Documentations in Power Quality Selection: Meaning and Guide A procurement engineer receives an Active Harmonic Filter quotation with a compliance certificate attached. The certificate names a product family, but the quotation specifies another voltage, current rating, enclosure layout, ambient condition, and feeder arrangement. The correct question is not “Does the suppli...
Capacitor Banks vs. Active SVG: Which Power Factor Correction Is Right for You? When your electricity bill suddenly spikes — or your utility sends a power-factor penalty notice — a common fix is to install power factor correction (PFC). For decades, that meant one thing: capacitor banks. Today you have a second, modern option: the Static Var Generator (SVG). Both i...
Capacitor bank overheating after adding VFDs is a power quality symptom, not a capacitor defect. VFD rectifiers inject harmonic current, the bank offers a low-impedance path at those frequencies, and parallel resonance between the bank and the supply can amplify that current until fuses open, contactors chatter and capacitor cans swell. A capacitor bank supplies reactive power to correct power fac...
Most AHF and SVG quotations are built backwards. A buyer collects a short-circuit level, a transformer rating and a target THDi, then asks three suppliers for a price. The result is a device sized to a guess rather than to the disturbance. A power quality report already contains most of what is needed to size a harmonic filter or reactive compensator correctly, provided the reader knows which colu...
