What's
Your Power Quality Problem?
|
|
|
With the ever-increasing use of sophisticated
controls and equipment in industrial, commercial,
institutional, and governmental facilities, the continuity,
reliability, and quality of electrical service has become
extremely crucial to many power users. Electrical systems
are subject to a wide variety of power quality problems
which can interrupt production processes, affect sensitive
equipment, and cause downtime, scrap, and capacity losses.
Momentary voltage fluctuations can disastrously impact
production . . . extended outages have a greater
impact.
The most common power quality problems are:
|
Voltage Sags
|
|
|
|
Voltage
sags are the
most common power problem encountered. Sags are a
short-term reduction in voltage, and can cause
interruptions to sensitive equipment such as
adjustable-speed drives, relays, and robots. Sags
are most often caused by fuse or breaker operation,
motor starting, or capacitor switching. Voltage sags
typically are non-repetitive, or repeat only a few
times due to recloser operation. Sags can occur on
multiple phases or on a single phase and can be
accompanied by voltage swells on other phases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Power Interruptions
|
|
|
|
|
|
Power interruptions are zero-voltage events that can be caused by weather,
equipment malfunction, recloser operations, or
transmission outages. Interruptions can occur on one
or more phases and are typically short duration
events, the vast majority of power interruptions are
less than 30 seconds..
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Voltage Flicker
|
|
|
|
Voltage flicker is rapidly occurring voltage sags caused by sudden and
large increases in load current. Voltage flicker is
most commonly caused by rapidly varying loads that
require a large amount of reactive power such as
welders, rock-crushers, sawmills, wood chippers,
metal shredders, and amusement rides. It can cause
visible flicker in lights and cause other processes
to shut down or malfunction.

S&C PureWave® Products
S&C offers PureWave® power quality systems, the broadest
selection of products offering whole-facility protection
from virtually any power quality problem from 380 volts
through 34.5 kV. These large-scale systems can be tailored
to your specific power quality problem to offer the most
economical and cost-effective solution. These products are
designed to protect an entire facility from the impact of
power quality problems. No longer is the data center the
only area receiving protected power—the factory floor,
offices, and support areas can all be economically
protected. Power quality problems can shut down whole
factories and processes, causing significant product loss,
maintenance and repair expense. For plants running 24/7 or
near capacity, it is often impossible to recover from this
lost production.
S&C has manufactured power quality products and systems for
industrial and utility applications for over 20 years.
S&C’s Power Quality Products Division's PureWave®
line has realized significant success providing power
quality solutions to the continuous process and service
industries. As one of the few companies developing
large-scale, outdoor and indoor power quality systems to
protect entire facilities, S&C PureWave products ensure
a consistent and reliable high-quality power supply at
industrial and commercial installations worldwide.

Overview
|
|
|
Application of
the PureWave® Source-Transfer System requires that
the facility be served by two independent power
sources.
Using a
sophisticated control system, the power-electronic
switches in the Source-Transfer System provide
sub-cycle switching between the two power sources
before a problem on one source—a voltage sag,
surge, or complete outage—can affect critical
loads. This switching takes place typically within
two to four milliseconds. The impact of voltage
sags, voltage surges, and voltage interruptions can
be eliminated.
The STS system
is a cost-effective solution at facilities where the
continuity, reliability, and quality of electrical
service is extremely crucial. This system, available
in ratings through 38 kV, features S&C PureWave
Power-Electronic Switches combined with time-proven
S&C Metal-Enclosed Switchgear that provides
complete protection and isolation functions.

The PureWave UPS
System is an immediate-response, high capacity, quick
discharge uninterruptible power supply system that
provides power protection to entire facilities served by a
single source, and protects power sensitive equipment from
the detrimental effects of power disturbances such as
voltage sags, surges, transients, momentary disruptions,
and complete outages. The system is designed to support
full loads for a minimum of 30 seconds and a maximum of 60
seconds for partial load conditions. The UPS can be
coordinated with a generator set for outages in excess of
30 seconds.
The medium-voltage
PureWave UPS System can deliver a maximum of 2.5 MVA (per
container) of clean power and can switch critical loads
from the utility service to the system’s standby battery
energy source in 2–4 milliseconds. As many as eight 2.5
MVA containers can be paralleled to protect larger loads
up to 20 MVA.
The low-voltage
Purewave UPS System is modular in nature and is scaleable
from 313 kVA up to 2500 kVA for 208—600 volt
applications.
Some featured
applications include:
- Data
and Call Centers
- Electronics
Manufacturers
- Pharmaceutical
Production
- Process
Industries
- Manufacturing
Facilities
Purewave
UPS Systems are available in the following models:
- Low-voltage
(380 to 600 volts), supporting loads of 313 to
1250 kVA,
- Low-voltage
(380 to 600 volts), supporting loads of 1250
to 2500 kVA, and
- Medium-voltage

PureWave DSTATCOM Distribution Static Compensator Protects
the Distribution System From Problem Loads
The PureWave
DSTATCOM protects the distribution system from voltage
flicker caused by the rapidly varying reactive current
draw of non-linear dynamic loads. It thus enables such
problem loads to co-exist on the same feeder as more
sensitive loads. The PureWave DSTATCOM instantaneously
exchanges real and reactive power with the distribution
system without the use of bulky capacitors or reactors.
For complete
protection, the PureWave DSTATCOM, coupled with a
solid-state breaker and energy storage, provides full
voltage support for critical loads on the distribution
circuit.

The PureWave
Adaptive VAR Compensator provides real-time voltage
support for voltage sags and dips caused by
rapidly-changing dynamic loads, as well as flicker
mitigation and power-factor correction. By reducing
voltage fluctuations and managing reactive power flow,
system stability and reliability are enhanced and system
capacity is increased.
The PureWave AVC can
enable problem loads to coexist on the same feeder with
more sensitive loads, obviating the need for separate
feeders. The PureWave AVC is ideal for heavy commercial
and industrial processes having varying mechanical cycles,
corresponding to rapidly varying reactive power demand.
Typical applications include:
|
|
- Mining
— rock crushing machinery, shovels
- Automobile
manufacturing — stamping, welding, and shredding
operation
- Pulp
and paper — sawmills, wood chippers
- Steel
manufacturing — arc furnaces, cranes, rolling
operations
- Elevators
and conveyors
- Recreational
— linear-induction-motor-driven amusement rides, ski
lifts.
The
PureWave AVC Adaptive VAR Compensator is an economical,
distribution-class VAR compensator that addresses the
reactive-power management requirements of a variety of
dynamic loads. This microprocessor-controlled device
utilizes power-electronic switches to instantaneously
insert the appropriate number of multi-stage power
capacitors, providing 300 kVAR or more of reactive
compensation on a cycle-by-cycle basis.
