Rated insulation level The combination of voltage values that characterizes the insulation of the equipment with regard to its capability to withstand dielectric stresses. These values are selected based on the rated voltage of the bank/system. Standard insulation values are given for altitudes <1000 m above sea level. For higher altitudes, a correction factor must be used. Lightning impulse te...

Industry background Chemical industry involves many mechanical processes with demanding quality requirements. Before any mechanical smelting, casting, or stamping, an induction melting furnace is used to melt metal. Most induction melting furnaces use a 6-pulse or 12-pulse rectifier, which produces high volumes of harmonic and reactive power. As a result, the production efficiency of induction mel...

What's the Definition of Power Factor? Power Factor Definition: Power factor(PF for short) is the ratio between KW and KVA drawn by an electrical load where the KW is the actual load power and the KVA is the apparent load power. It is a measure of how effectively the current is being converted into useful work output and more particularly is a good indicator of the effect of the load current on th...

Method for determining compensation (Power Factor correction Guidelines) Step 1 Selection of the compensation mode The location of L.V capacitors banks in an installation constitutes the mode of reactive power compensation, which may be central (one location for the entire installation), by sector or group (section-by-section), at load level, or some combination of the latter two. In principle, th...

The Graph below shows Harmonic Current Distortion in the form of THDi. This is hovering between 20 and 25%. Ideally, it should be less than 10% and preferably less than 8% THDi. The highest value of average total harmonic distortion (THDi%) across three phases was calculated from raw data. This value is 24.19%THDi and was recorded at time shown. At the same time, average line current (Amps) across...

STATCOM will be utilized in the night for power factor correction and voltage control at the terminals of an induction motor operating at poor power factor. PV solar farms produce power during the day and are completely idle in the nights. The proposed new control on PV solar system will help in increase the utilization of the PV solar system. A key component of the PV solar plant is a voltage sou...

Power Factor Correction The active power produced by the active current can alone be turned into an effective use for the consumer; while the reactive power produced by the reactive current does not yield usable power, and consequently, is not registered on the active performance meter. The reactive power has, however, a negative effect on generators, transformers, and conductor lines, while causi...
