Harmonics Filter Cum APFC Panel: The Ultimate Power Quality Solution
In today's increasingly complex electrical environments, poor power quality can significantly impact operational efficiency, equipment lifespan, and energy costs. Our cutting-edge Harmonics Filter Cum APFC (Automatic Power Factor Correction) Panel delivers unparalleled power quality improvement by integrating active harmonic filtering with advanced automatic power factor correction in a single, robust solution. Protect your assets, reduce costs, and ensure operational stability with this intelligent power management system.
Product Overview
The Harmonics Filter Cum APFC Panel is a sophisticated, all-in-one solution designed to tackle two of the most prevalent power quality issues: harmonic distortion and low power factor. It dynamically compensates for non-linear loads, cancels harmful harmonics, and maintains optimal power factor, leading to a healthier, more efficient, and reliable electrical infrastructure.
Key Features & Technologies
1. Advanced Active Harmonics Filtering
Real-time Compensation: Dynamically injects anti-phase currents to cancel out harmonic currents generated by non-linear loads (VFDs, UPS, LED lighting, rectifiers, computers, etc.) in real time.
Broad Spectrum Filtering: Effectively mitigates harmonic currents up to the 50th order, ensuring a very low Total Harmonic Distortion of Current (THDi).
IEEE 519 Compliance: Designed to meet stringent international standards for harmonic distortion, typically reducing THDi to less than 5%.
Load Adaptive: Continuously monitors the load and adapts its compensation strategy, providing precise filtering regardless of load variations.
Resonance Mitigation: Prevents dangerous resonance conditions that can occur with passive filters and capacitor banks.
Selectable Harmonic Compensation: Ability to select specific harmonic orders to compensate, optimizing performance for unique industrial requirements.
2. Intelligent Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC)
Unity Power Factor Maintenance: Continuously monitors and corrects the power factor, striving to maintain it as close to unity (typically > 0.99 leading or lagging) as possible.
Multi-Stage Capacitor Switching: Utilizes robust, low-loss power capacitors switched by fast-acting contactors or thyristor switches (optional) for quick and precise reactive power compensation.
Microprocessor-Based Controller: Features an advanced, intelligent controller for accurate power factor measurement, control, and display of key electrical parameters.
Sequential Switching: Optimized switching algorithms minimize capacitor wear and reduce transients during switching operations.
Harmonic Blocking Reactors (Optional): Can be integrated to protect capacitors from harmonic currents in highly distorted environments, ensuring longevity and performance.
3. Integrated & Unified Design
Single Enclosure: Combines both critical functions into one compact panel, saving valuable floor space and simplifying installation.
Centralized Control: A unified control system manages both harmonic filtering and power factor correction, ensuring seamless operation and optimal performance.
Enhanced Monitoring: Comprehensive display provides real-time data for harmonics, power factor, voltage, current, active power, reactive power, apparent power, and energy consumption.
Robust Construction: Industrial-grade components housed in a durable, ventilated enclosure suitable for harsh industrial environments.
