ZDDQ power quality correction products are part of the solution. Most utilities charge for peak electrical demand on each month’s electrical bill. The demand charge is to allow the utilities to recoup part of their capital investment in the distribution network they operate. Each customer pays a demand charge for its peak operating load. Often inherent in the structure of these demand charges is a...

In an L.V/M.V/H.V electrical installation, capacitor banks (or Static var generator/Active harmonic filter)can be installed at 3 different levels. 1.Global installation Advantages: - No reactive energy bill. - Represents the most economical solution since all the power is concentrated at one point and the expansion coefficient makes it possible to optimize banks - Relieves the transformer. Remark:...

var The unit of measurement for reactive power. Active power (P) Active power is the useful power that does the actual work. Active power is measured in W, kW, MW. Reactive power (Q) Reactive power is a product of an AC system. Reactive power is used to produce magnetic fields. Reactive power is mea- sured in var, kvar, Mvar. Apparent power (S) Apparent power or total power is a combination of act...

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...

Single busbar compensation Overview An installation with a single LV busbar is that most often encountered. This type of installation requires that the reactive power can change with respect to the methods defined previously. Compensation uses all the receiving devices of the installation and the amperage of the current transformer is determined according to the total current conducted through the...

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...

We make a simple introduction about harmoincs in networks,welcome to communicate with us about harmonics and how to solve. General Introduction Harmonics are usually defined by two main characteristics: Their amplitude: value of the harmonic voltage or current. Their order: value of their frequency with respect to the fundamental frequency (50 Hz). Under such conditions, the frequency of a 5th ord...

Reactive power is necessary to generate magnetic fields, e.g. in motors, transformers and generators. This power oscillates between the source and the load and represents an additional loading. Static var Compensator (SVC) and static var generator can suppress the voltage fluctuation, flicker and rapidly compensate the reactive power and the quality of electric power can be improved. If you have q...

The effects of harmonics on loads The following two types of effects appear in the main equipment: immediate or short-term effects and long-term effects. Immediate or short-term effects: Unwanted tripping of protection devices, Induced interference from LV current systems (remote control, telecommunications), Abnormal vibrations and noise, Damage due to capacitor thermal overload, Faulty operation...
