What is a Power Quality Problem?

• Any occurrence manifested in voltage, current,
  or frequency deviations that results in
• failure or mis-operation of end-use equipment.

Power Quality Problems

• Events and Conditions Associated Corrective
  Technology
• Some devices may not perform well on the
  specified PQ event.
• Blue - Best devices are well suited
• Grey - Wide variety in performance.
• White - Not suited to attenuate this event
• Some devices can exacerbate the specified event
  or power quality condition
• Prior to selecting any specific device a
  site-specific survey must be performed with power
  quality analyzers suited for qualifying the
  events in question.
• Each device must be researched for its capacity
  to treat each specific PQ event.

Harmonics in Power Quality

• The 5th Harmonic

• Harmonics are un-useful frequencies of energy you
  pay for which
• Apply reverse torque to motors
• Provide no motor force
• Disrupt electronic performance
• Overheat components and neutral conductors
  damaging motors, electronics, circuit breakers,
  transformers

Power Factor

• Power Factor is one efficiency measurement of
  electric power as it is
• a) transmitted over power lines and
• b) processed by end-use consumers.

• P.F. f (voltage, current, time and phase
  angle)
• The closer the V-C relationship the more power
  can be transmitted over existing conductors.
• Slightly below 1.0 (lagging) is better than above
  1.0 (leading)

Power Factor Reducers

• Common electric motors
• Motors running at lower than rated load
• Harmonic frequencies from electronics
• Transmission lines

Ecologicx First 954-384-1544 www.ecologicx.com
12
Power Factor Tariffs

• A simple formula increases end-user utility costs
  to incent customers into improving power factor
  efficiency
• Relates to the Utilities ability to move energy
  efficiently
• Utility companies power factor costs/savings are
  not noticed at the customers meters
• Corrected Power Factor CAN increase current and
  kWh

Power Quality Issues
Applying Power Factor Correction in a Harmonic
Environment The use of capacitors has long been
accepted as the most practical solution to low
power factor problems in power systems. Modern
capacitors are a reliable, maintenance free,
inexpensive source of VAR's needed in inductive
circuits to synchronize the voltage and current
waveforms. In the past, the application of
capacitors was straightforward all that was
required was a knowledge of KW (or KVA), existing
power factor and target power factor. In recent
years, however, this practice has been
complicated by the proliferation of nonlinear
loads. The Source of the Problem One of the most
widely used solid state motor controls is the
six-pulse drive. These devices represent a
non-linear impedance to the power source, drawing
a quasi-square wave alternating current rich in
harmonics. For six-pulse drives, the
characteristic harmonics are 5, 7, 11, 13, 17,
19....

Demand Factor
Is the ratio of the maximum real power
consumed by a system to the maximum real power
that would be consumed if the entire load
connected to the system were to be activated at
the same time. This ratio is generally
calculated over 15-30 minutes and expressed in kW

Surge Protection

• Did you know.
• The state of Florida, the lightning capital of
  the U.S. experienced over 300,000 lightning
  strikes in 2002 alone.
• The electricity flowing within a lightning bolt
  can reach 2 million volts.
• Electrical storms causes billions of dollars in
  property damage every year.
• Power surges are one of the main causes of damage
  to A/C systems.
• The Ecologicx Circuit rider System provides 100
  down-line lightning and surge protection, which
  is backed by a minimum of 2 million dollars
  worth of insurance coverage.

(Electric Construction and Mainten.) Power Factor
Correction and Harmonic Resonance A Volatile
MixElectrical Construction Maintenance, Jun 1,
2003 Capacitors may be meant to correct
problems, but they can also introduce them if
incorrectly specified. Industrial and commercial
customers constantly scrutinize their monthly
electric usage looking for ways to save money.
Installing power factor correction capacitors can
reduce costly penalties imposed by the utility
However, you can't indiscriminately add power
factor correction capacitors to a system without
understanding how their presence will affect the
system. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) for
motors, DC power supplies for computers,
electronic ballasts for fluorescent lighting, and
other nonlinear loads can create harmonics. If
you don't consider the existence of these
harmonic sources and the inductive reactance of
the existing system, you'll create the potential
for harmonic resonance Sidebar A
Self-Correcting Problem? Harmonic resonance is
said to be a self-correcting problem. Most times
capacitor fuses will open, capacitor cans will
fail, or the source transformer fails. Any of
these events will lead to the removal of a
component from the system, eliminating the
resonance condition. However, they're all
undesirable results. In a best-case scenario, the
electrical control equipment acts
erratically. http//www.niagaramohawk.com/busind

Energy Saving Issues

• How MUCH ENERGY is
• AVAILABLE to be Utilized Better
• The typical office environment can attribute 40
  of its energy load to HVAC alone.
• The U.S.s spends 50-65 of its energy on motor
  loads.
• Partial short-list of CR-Maxs energy saving
  contributions
• See file Energy Saving Sources V2.2.doc
