Power Quality Solutions and Energy Savings One of the most significant changes in the Power Quality industry in the past five years is the method of selling Power Quality solutions. Originally, Power Quality solutions were sold as an insurance policy to avoid potential damage from power disturbances such as transients,voltage sags, interruptions or harmonics. Today, many Power Qu...

Benefits by installing power factor correction systems? Power factor correction systems provide much benefit: Reduced electricity utility bills Your electric utility provides working (kW) and reactive power (kVAR) to your plant in the form of apparent power (kVA). While reactive power (kVAR) doesn’t register on kW demand or kW hour meters, the utility’s transmission and distribution system must be...

Power capacitors are very beneficial in power networks. They provide reactive power required by motors, transformers, etc. This increases the transmission capacity and reduces losses thanks to higher power factors. They enable the power factor targets of the utilities to be met. Power capacitors and series reactors are also a key component in various filter solutions that reduce harmonic cont...

Reactive Power in Inductive Loads Inductive loads such as chokes, motors, inductive heating equipment, generators, transformers, and arc welding equipment produce an electrical lag that is commonly referred to as inductance. This inductance causes a phase difference between current and voltage. As a result of phase shift due to inductance, there are times when current and voltage have different si...
