Reactive-Power Compensation and Active Filter

Lower power costs with the intelligent SIVACON technology

Highlights

  • Greater efficiency by creating sustainable reduction of energy costs

  • Efficient network dimensioning thanks to low reactive power


Built-in savings potential

The cubicles of SIVACON S8 for central reactive-power compensation relieve transformers and cables, reduce transmission losses, and therefore save energy. A new active filter module has been integrated into the SIVACON S8 low-voltage switchboard for power and network quality enhancement.

Optimized network quality

Reactive power in a network is caused by inductive linear loads, such as motors, transformers or UPS systems. Active harmonic filters negate harmonic components as well as expensive reactive power and thus guarantee optimum network quality and sustainable reduction in energy costs.

Active filters

This new active filter offers a number of functions that negate harmonic components up to 4 kHz, feedback of the absorbed energy into the net at 50 Hz, and is the quickest active filter on the market right now with a CPU time of < 25 μs.
