Harmonics & Reactive Power Solutions

Installation of SVG/AHF Hybrid Rack-Mounted Panel

Key findings:

• Critical Power Quality parameters (low PF & high harmonics)
• Existing Contactor Switched Capacitor Bank

Limitation of Existing Capacitor Banks

• Insufficient response time to variable speed VFD motors load, with consequent loss of efficiency and shorter lifespan
• Reduced Power Factor
• Higher current load on incomers and downstream site grid, reducing available connect load capacity
• High phase loads un-balance
