Active Harmonic Filter vs Passive Harmonic Filter Modern facilities depend on equipment that improves efficiency and control, but that same equipment often creates serious power quality problems. In an industrial power system, nonlinear loads such as variable frequency drive units, rectifiers, UPS systems, welders, and switched-mode power supplies can generate harmonic distortion. Once harm...
Why Your Traditional Capacitor Bank Fails to CompensateReactive Power In power systems, reactive power compensation is key to keeping grids stable and using electricity efficiently. Many businesses use traditional capacitor banks for compensation, only to find they don’t work well in real operation. This article explains simply why standard capacitor banks often fail to compensate reactive p...
Medium Voltage STATCOM for Mining Mining sites depend on stable medium voltage power. Crushers, conveyors, pumps, mills, hoists, compressors, and ventilation systems all place heavy demand on the electrical network. These loads do not always operate at a steady level. They start, stop, ramp up, and change throughout the day. This can create voltage fluctuation, poor power factor, and reactive powe...
