Harmonic Filtration

AccuSine PCS+ Active Harmonic Filter (AHF)

AccuSine PCS+ Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) injects harmonic current to cancel harmonic current in the electrical distribution system. This reduced harmonic level results in improved electrical network reliability and reduced operating cost. AccuSine PCS+ is simple to size, install, set up and operate. In addition, AccuSine PCS+ eliminates the complex harmonic compliance limit calculations and removes nuisance harmonics from the electrical network.

The Problem: Power electronic devices that have rapid and frequent load variations have become abundant today due to their many process control related and energy saving benefits. However, they also bring a few major drawbacks to electrical distribution systems; harmonics and rapid change of reactive power requirement. Harmonics may disrupt normal operation of other devices and increase operating costs. Symptoms of problematic harmonic levels include overheating of transformers, motors, drives, cables, thermal tripping of protective devices and logic faults of digital devices. In addition, the life span of many devices can be reduced by elevated operating temperature.

The Solution: The AccuSine PCS+ AHF provides the simplest and most effective means to mitigate harmonics, to reduce process related voltage fluctuations. The AccuSine PCS+ AHF actively injects opposite harmonics current on the source side of the load. In addition, it:

  • Decreases harmonic related overheating of cables, switchgear and transformers

  • Reduces downtime caused by nuisance thermal tripping of protective devices

  • Increases electrical network reliability and reduces operating costs

  • Corrects to the 51st harmonic, reduce harmonics level to meet IEEE 519, IEC 61000 3-4, and UK G5/4-1 standards.

  • Compensates entire network or specific loads depending on installation point

Standard Features:

  • Real-time dynamic current injection for harmonic cancellation and VAR compensation (lead or lag power factor)

  • Load balancing capability

  • Parallel connection allows for easy retrofit and installation of multiple units for large networks

  • Response to load fluctuations within 2 cycles for harmonics, 1/4 cycle for power factor or load balancing

  • Full color touch screen HMI (Human Machine Interface)

  • UL Type 1, UL Type 2, UL Type 12, IP31, and IP54 enclosures

  • Seismic rated per ICC IBC and ASCE 7

  • UL, CE, ABS, and CSA certified

  • AccuSine PCS+ integrates with EcoStruxure™ Power’s edge control power management and control software and analytics services that scale to your demands and adapt to your needs.

AccuSine PCSn Active Harmonic Filter (AHF)

Part of the AccuSine+ family, the AccuSine PCSn is the ideal solution for harmonic mitigation in commercial buildings, light industry, and other less-harsh environments. In addition to 3-phase mitigation, AccuSine PCSn can compensate for neutral harmonic currents, typically present in building and commercial environments where single-phase non-linear loads are present.

  • Configurable: One solution for multiple needs, AccuSine PCSn can be configured for Harmonic Mitigation + PF Improvement + Mains Load Balancing.

  • Best-in-class performance to reduce THDi < 3%: Built on award winning AccuSine+ technology, this guarantees a harmonic-free system, improving system reliability, and increasing operational efficiency and uptime.

  • Power Factor (cosφ), THDi, and THDv setpoint features provide system-level visibility and control, ensuring that you comply with utility code, and that your system is running at optimal efficiency.

  • Harmonic mitigation eliminates harmonic current in the neutral. In a 3-phase system, unbalanced loads introduce a current in the neutral. Applying the mains load balancing function reduces the neutral current to zero, resulting in a perfectly stable system.

  • Smart commissioning: Automatic CT polarity detection and correction, intelligent paralleling algorithm saves you time through unit self-identification, system view allows commissioning of the entire system from any one unit.

  • Simple Scalability: Add more AccuSine modules as your harmonic mitigation needs change with your load requirements, easily integrating new modules through intelligent paralleling capabilities.

  • With conventional power quality solutions you need high capital investment, incur large operating costs and may find it difficult to comply with IEEE 519 guidelines. The PCSn is the perfect alternative to conventional solutions like Harmonic Mitigation Transformers, Isolation Transformers, Passive Filters, Dual winding transformers.

  • AccuSine PCSn integrates with EcoStruxure™ Power’s edge control power management and control software and analytics services that scale to your demands and adapt to your needs.

  • CE and CULUS certified.

PowerLogic™ AccuSine™ EVC+

Unlock the potential with true energy efficiency! PowerLogic AccuSine EVC+ is fast, stepless, modular, and can be wall-mounted. It can be configured for Power Factor Correction and Harmonic Mitigation, among others uses.

Electrical networks are changing dramatically

Tomorrow’s power quality problems cannot be solved with yesterday’s solutions. Traditional, capacitor-based, power factor correction solutions are not designed to support our customers’ ambition towards Electricity 4.0 and Net Zero with fast-changing loads, hypersensitive electronics and distributed energy resources (DER).

EVC+ provides stepless VAR compensation to achieve perfect Power Factor (within 1 kVAR) and responds to load changes within 25μs.

Not your typical power factor correction system

In addition to providing superior performance for power factor correction for leading and lagging VAR control, PowerLogic AccuSine EVC+ can mitigate harmonics currents commonly seen in commercial and industrial applications (5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th).

Multiple units can be paralleled for faster commissioning (configure entire system from one unit) and to provide more VAR compensation.

Improve energy efficiency, increase savings immediately

Onboard wizard, automatic CT calibration for simple commissioning. Modular design to help ensure uptime and equipment reliability. On-target, stepless correction that complies with utility regulations.
