In printing houses, the use of DC drives for precise control over speed and torque is common, but it's not without impact on power quality. These drives can introduce harmonic distortion and voltage fluctuations into the electrical system, leading to inefficient power usage and potentially affecting other connected devices. The rectifiers in DC drives can also contribute to serious power factor issues, adding yet another layer of complexity to managing power quality. To address these issues, facilities often find themselves needing to invest in additional equipment like harmonic filters and power factor correction units, making it crucial to monitor and manage power quality in environments where DC drives are in use.

State of the Art Power Quality Solution enables production increase!
A factory extension in the Fresh Foods Industry was required by the client. This additional loading comprising almost entirely variable speed drives and LED lighting - well known sources of harmonic distortion.
The local District Network Operator imposed the most arduous restriction of 'No additional harmonic emmissions, and power factor +/- 0.98'.
This is the perfect application for the Hybrid Power Quality technology - where Active Harmonic Filters are combined with detuned PFC to provide instantaneous harmonic mitigation and compensation of reactive power.
This example required 400kVAr and 400Amps, providing up to 680kVAr of reactive power within milliseconds, and compensation of all expected harmonic currents.
Without this solution, the factory extension would not have been granted a supply agreement.

Hybrid Power Quality, ( HPQ ) is combining the functions of Harmonic Filtering and Power Factor Correction into a single system, made up of an Active Filter and conventional Detuned PFC.
By using the Active Filter to supply and control reactive power, in addition to harmonic attenuation, superior performance is acheived compared to the two systems operating independantly. The power factor is more closely controlled, with a response time measured in milliseconds not minutes.
HPQ technology is available as an upgrade to ANY detuned PFC system, from any reputable manufacturer.
Perhaps the recent installation of a PV scheme or upgrading production to include VFD motor drives has resulted in elevated levels of distortion and a PFC system that simply can't keep up?
HPQ is the solution.
The team at @Power Capacitors Ltd. completed an upgrade to HPQ at another client this week. The DC drives on the printing presses were causing an extremely poor power factor as well as high levels of harmonic distortion. When a moderate solar installation was commissioned, the existing PFC was no longer able to adequately control the power factor across the range of loadings observed.
Once installed, the HPQ control reduced THDi from >40% to 10%, and the power factor was improved from <0.6 lagging to 0.99 lagging.
The client, understandably, was very impressed, knowing that their electrical system is now operating at optimum efficiency, and delivering maximum savings!

Power Capacitors Ltd is proud to support its customers by offering the optimum solution in every case, without being constrained by a list of catalogue items.
An order was recently received for an system, intially rated at 150A, but capable of extension at a later date to 300A.
This great example of was easily accomodated by the design team, who produced a which takes advantage of the in-house capability of our panel workshop.
The system is leaving the factory fully fitted out with isolation, ventilation and control for the full 300A output - the upgrade will be a simple process to add an additional Merus Power A2 Active Harmonic Filter module to the system when our customer requires.
