Presence of high harmonic distortion, iTDD exceeding standard limit specified by IEEE
Low true power factor
Increased losses due to high harmonic distortion
Occasional failure of sensitive electronic cards, malfunctioning of control circuits and therefore abrupt tripping of continuous weaving machines
Root Cause Analysis
High level of harmonic distortion generated by AC/DC drives employed in loom machine is the main reason behind failure related issues
High harmonics resulting in low power factor (true)
Solution
P2 Power Active Harmonic Filter at major nonlinear loads (p2p-415-af3)
P2 Power Hybrid Filter (p2p-415-hf3) - best suited when power factor is low
Benefits
Total current harmonic distortion maintained within limits specified as per IEEE standard (iTDD <8%) - free from any risk of harmonic penalty (if applicable)
Fine quality of fabric and cloth
Reduced likelihood (almost negligible) of sensitive electronic cards failure
Uninterrupted operation of continuous process based weaving machines
True power factor maintained close to unity; free from any risk of low pf penalty (if applicable)
