Hybrid Power Quality, or , is our unique and industry leading technology combining Merus Power Active Harmonic Filter () Modules with traditional contactor switched Power Factor Correction () - all in one system, controlled by the unit.
@Power Capacitors Ltd. recently serviced a system in Lincoln that has been running smoothly for a number of years.
The system started life as 200kVAr unit with 100A of AHF but has since been expanded and is now a 400kVAr unit with 200A of AHF.
All the benefits of PFC ✅
All the benefits of AHF ✅

Or maybe just come and tell us about your favourite car in the hall this year? (I haven’t seen the Delorean yet…)
Not long left until the - this weekend at the in Birmingham!
There's always a great crowd at this event and @[Harry](urn:li:person:1rBRA24Ubu), @[Carl](urn:li:person:wD28dIzVhu) & @[Joe](urn:li:person:7Mndnh1U9P) will be happy to chat!
From this Friday 21st March to Sunday 23rd March - come and see us on Stand 5-098!
Congratulations to @[Lee Warwick](urn:li:person:wvVPyVPc3w) for winning our competition to win a pair of day tickets to the at the !
Enjoy the show - we'll see you there!
One of our team is apparently quite a good singer! This is her first time performing in front of a crowd - Well done @[Shantelle](urn:li:person:YEfNYUSGr\_)!
Would you like to work for a well established but growing company?
Well, today is your lucky day, @Power Capacitors Ltd. is a new Mobile Control Panel Wireman. Apply today or share this post with your network!
Our archaeological team recently unearthed this well-preserved example of ancient material. Our believe this may be from the "Mossolithic" period and at the time would have been praised for its single font, monotone colour scheme and fax number. Wow!
Alongside and equipment, @Power Capacitors Ltd. also manufacture Converters - a range of single-to-three phase converters designed for home workshops and small businesses.
We recently had the wonderful Chris Gunn bring his converter in for service - purchased waaaay back in 1988! The converter only required 2 replacement capacitors and within an hour was back up and running - all whilst Chris enjoyed the famous of the team.
There aren't many products these days that are built to last over 35 years - but @Power Capacitors Ltd.'s are!
Chris is pictured here with Terrel, one of the team who helped service his .

⚡Are Hidden Electrical Issues Costing Your Business More Than You Think?⚡
Power quality problems are the silent efficiency killer in modern industries. Harmonics, Voltage fluctuations, and electrical distortions are causing unexpected downtime, reduced equipment lifespan, and excessive energy costs—and you might not even realise it.
🔍 The Solution? Active Harmonic Filters or AHFs.
✅ Improve Energy Efficiency – Reduce harmonic distortions, ensuring cleaner power and lower energy losses.
✅ Protect Critical Equipment – Extend the life of motors, transformers, and sensitive electronics by eliminating harmful harmonics.
✅ Enhance Compliance – Meet power quality standards effortlessly.
✅ Prevent Downtime – Avoid costly equipment failures and process interruptions.
✅ Reduce Penalties – Many energy suppliers impose fines for poor power quality—AHFs help you stay compliant and avoid extra charges.
💡 Whether you're in manufacturing, data centres, healthcare, or renewable energy - poor power quality can silently drain your profits. AHFs are able to safeguard your operations and optimise performance.

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.

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!
