Reactive-Power Compensation and Active Filter
Lower power costs with the intelligent SIVACON technology
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.
