Analysis of 3 Different Power Factor Correction Solutions: Capacitors, SVG, and AHF In today’s industrial and commercial environments, ensuring power quality is more than just good practice—it’s a necessity. Poor power quality can lead to equipment malfunctions, increased utility costs, and downtime. One major aspect of power quality is the power factor—a measure of ho...
Have you ever passed by a factory filled with the hum of machinery or a supermarket that’s open around the clock? If so, you’ve witnessed the hidden essence that powers modern industry: a steady, dependable stream of electricity. But consider this - what occurs when solar panels produce an excess of energy on a sunny day, or when the power grid collapses during a fierce storm? This is ...
As the world accelerates its transition toward low-carbon and sustainable energy systems, the integration of renewable energy—such as solar, wind, and hydropower—has become a central pillar of national energy strategies. However, this rapid shift has introduced new challenges to the stability and reliability of power systems. One of the most critical concerns is power quality&md...
1. Current Transformer (CT) A Current Transformer is an instrument transformer used to measure alternating current (AC) by stepping down high currents to a lower, measurable value. Key Functions: Current Measurement: Steps down high primary current (e.g., 1000A) to a standardized secondary current (e.g., 5A or 1A) for meters and relays. Isolation: Provides galvanic isolation be...
Active Harmonic Filters: The Smart Way to Fix Harmonic Distortion Harmonic distortion is one of those hidden issues that can quietly wreak havoc on your electrical system. It’s responsible for things like overheated transformers, motor failures, and unexpected equipment shutdowns. If your facility uses a lot of variable-speed drives or other nonlinear loads, chances are you’ve s...
In today’s increasingly digital and power-electronic-driven world, understanding power quality parameters is essential—especially for engineers, technicians, and facility managers. One such important metric is THDi, or Total Harmonic Distortion of current. But what exactly is THDi, and how does it occur in electrical systems? What is THDi? THDi stands for Total Harmonic D...
