Harmonic Applications
Nonlinear loads, such as Variable Frequency Drives and UPS systems, reduce energy costs and provide system efficiencies. However, they also can create harmonic distortion.
IEEE 519-2022
Sets forth limits for both harmonic voltages and currents within industrial distribution systems.
Harmonic Distortion
Can cause problems including poor power factor, equipment overheating, and random breaker tripping.
Motor Protection Applications
Motors can be damaged by voltage overshoots and common mode currents.
Voltage Overshoots
This high voltage can cause early degradation of insulation systems for motors, transformers and cables.
Bearing Current
Common Mode currents can lead to bearing pitting and fluting which is damaging to motors.
Motor Stress and Failure
Voltage wave reflection can occur, resulting in downtime shutdowns and frequent maintenance.
High Frequency Noise Applications
Unwanted high frequency electrical noise can cause equipment to malfunction. EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) are two types of electrical noise.
Unwanted high frequency electrical noise can cause equipment to malfunction.
