HPQ Filters Save the Day at Crown Packaging
Summary
When high harmonic voltage distortion damaged integrated PFC gear at Crown Packaging, our HPQ filters
restored control, protected existing equipment, and enabled factory expansion.
Client Background
Crown Packaging site managed by VAR/AF Switchgear, operating with complex drive loads.
Problem
Blown fuses and welded contactors due to harmonic distortion rendered the PFC inoperable.
Solution
We performed a power quality survey and installed HPQ filters that worked alongside salvaged PFC
sections. This controlled harmonics and restored Power Factor control.
Results
-
THdV dropped from 13.6% to 8.2%
-
Equipment preserved and integrated
-
Factory expansion cleared by the Network Operator
