PowerAct – Active Harmonic Filters
Powerside active harmonic filters provide a fast return on investment. The quick and effective response of a PowerAct active harmonic filter to power system variations enables higher process reliability, longer equipment life, reduced energy costs, and dependable productivity.
Benefits:
PowerAct dramatically improves power quality by mitigating harmonics, stabilizing voltage, balancing phase loads, and compensating for poor power factor. It’s a core building block of our smart grid product solutions. PowerAct makes it easy to comply with power quality standards and demanding grid codes.
- Protects equipment from harmonics generated by other industrial operations
- Stabilizes voltage with Var compensation
- Increases operational reliability by reducing maintenance repairs
- Extends the lifetime of electrical equipment
- Provides additional capacity in an existing electrical network
- Eliminates the need for engineering analysis
- Reduces energy costs, lowering CO2 emissions
- Fast return on investment
PowerAct comes equipped with a smart controller for automatic harmonic correction. It features 3-level IGBT Inverter topology, a 7” touch-screen user interface, and dedicated cooling chimney that protects electronics keeping them cool. Designed for small areas, PowerAct can grow to 500A inside one cabinet. The result is a flexible, controlled, and compact, harmonic filter that is safe, easy to operate, and compliant with standard communication protocols, and meets IEEE 519-2014 harmonic requirements.
