Press Release – TCI’s PQconnect™ Earns ODVA Certification

PQconnect™ Passive Harmonic Filter Technology Earns ODVA Certification

Trans-Coil International, (TCI), an Allied Motion company, announces ODVA certification for its PQconnect™ passive harmonic filter technology platform.

HGP with PQconnect

TCI’s PQconnect‑enabled passive harmonic filters now seamlessly integrate into EtherNet/IP® factory automation networks to provide real-time filter status and line parameter data.

 PQconnect employs a patented method to measure critical power quality data without the use of separate, expensive current sensors. This allows the same PQconnect hardware to be applied across a wide range of filters (5HP to 1500HP), making the technology highly flexible.

PQconnect converts TCI’s filters into smart devices that can make independent control decisions using the measured data. Furthermore, this data can be shared locally via Bluetooth and to upstream automation systems via various networks, including Modbus and now EtherNet/IP. PQconnect reduces nuisance tripping and downtime, enables automated filter control, provides better drive protection and extends equipment life.

Located in Germantown, WI, TCI is the leading manufacturer of active and passive harmonic filters that mitigate harmonics and improve power quality. TCI’s engineers specialize in developing optimal solutions that achieve IEEE-519 compliance and enhanced motor protection.

New MA Frame Reactor

TCI, LLC now offers a reactor with a smaller footprint for 0.25 HP-3 HP motors-KDR MA frame. The addition of a KDR Line Reactor, such as the MA frame, will reduce harmonic distortion, which reduces the total RMS current, thereby improving the total power factor.

  • Smallest footprint available
  • The only UL Listed 690 V terminal block reactor on the market
  • Vertical tool access for easy installation
  • Accessory adapter plates available to accommodate different mounting footprint requirements

In addition, we have improved the process of building reactors by automating the winding of the coils. This will allow our team to make parts quicker in order to fulfill same day shipments.

HGL HarmonicGuard Low Capacitance

Our HarmonicGuard Low Capacitance filter (HGL) adds to our line of options for passive filters. The HGL was designed to be compatible with 5%THD performance.

The introduction of the HGL addresses concerns of excess capacitance in generators. Excess capacitance can cause problems such as:

  • Leading Power Factor
  • Creating over-excitation in a generator
  • Controlling both power factor and harmonics together

The Low Capacitance filter reduces the amount of reactive power and enables lower power, lower cost generators to be used.
