Using Medium Voltage SVG in the metallurgical industry is not an "option," but a "necessity" concerning economic efficiency, production stability, and social responsibility. We can use a simple analogy to understand this: The power grid of a metallurgical plant is like a main water pipe supplying all equipment. High-power impact loads like electric arc furnaces and rolling mills are like gian...
The metallurgical industry is a typical "severely affected area for power quality," and it is also where SVGs can deliver the most significant benefits. My explanation will be divided into two main parts: Governance Effects and Key Considerations. Part 1: The Governance Effects of Medium-High Voltage SVG in the Metallurgical Industry Production processes such as Electric Arc ...
Load Characteristics and Power Quality Issues in Commercial Buildings The main "sources of pollution" in commercial buildings include: Energy-Efficient Devices: Large quantities of LED lighting drivers, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), variable frequency drives (VFDs) for HVAC, and elevator VFDs. IT and Data Centers: Servers, computers, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies), switching po...
How a Copper Manufacturing Plant Solved Severe Harmonic Issues with SVG + APF Technology Real-world case study: Improving power quality, restoring capacitor operation, and eliminating production disruptions at Zhejiang Jinjia Special-Shaped Copper Co., Ltd. The Challenge: High Harmonics, Failed Capacitors, and Unstable Production Zhejiang Jinjia Special-Shaped Copper Co., Ltd., located in Changxin...
Have you ever been troubled by these frustrating issues? Production lines in your factory halting without warning, causing massive financial losses? Lights in your office building flickering inexplicably, servers restarting frequently, putting data at risk? Receiving shockingly high electricity bills every month, with unexplained "penalty" charges? Electrical equipment overheating, lifespan shorte...
Moving from a conventional silicon-based Active Harmonic Filter to one using Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs represents a major technological leap, and the cooling system is directly impacted. Here’s a detailed look at the cooling system of a SiC Active Harmonic Filter, highlighting how it differs from traditional IGBT-based AHFs. The Core Advantage: Why SiC Changes the Game Silicon ...
Introduction: When "Refueling" Becomes "Charging," Power Quality Becomes the New Safety Battleground The recent spontaneous combustion of an vehicle in Shanghai during charging, with the official preliminary explanation citing "the use of substandard power by the owner," has sent shockwaves through the community. This incident not only caused panic among owners but also revealed a long-overlooked ...
The choice between installing an Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) on the power side (at the Point of Common Coupling - PCC) versus the load side (at the source of harmonics) is a critical design decision with significant technical and financial implications. Here is a detailed analysis comparing both installation strategies. Executive Summary Load-Side Installation (Local Compensation): Targets s...
