| * Harmonic filtering |
 |
Description:
Certain equipment such as drives, inverters, UPS,
arc furnaces, transformers, filters and discharge lamps generate harmonics. The harmonics strain the network. Voltage distortion overload cables, cause failures of relays and circuit breakers and disturb many types of equipment such as computers, telephones etc….Implemented by experienced specialists, the harmonic filtering solutions (active & passive filters) eliminate most of the power quality problems
Features & benefits:
> Optimize the sizing and the life duration of your electrical equipment by reducing to the minimum the warming up of electrical equipment and increasing the service life of equipment, cables & transformers
> Improve the continuity of your production processes eliminate the production machinery stopping risk
> Increase the availability of your electrical utilities in factories and buildings eliminate the strongly negative impacts of harmonics on all electronic devices: computers, telephones etc.
> Improve your compliance with electrical utilities requirements anticipate the increasingly severe expectations and standards: implement durable development solutions

* Variable speed drives
Are you running motors at full speed even when lower levels of flow are required? |
|
Description:
> 72 % of consumed electricity is used to turn on motors. 63 % for fans & Pumps motors. Inefficient throttling or control methods are used and motors energy consumptions remain high. AC drives allow you to reduce energy consumption by 50% on fans compared to conventional solutions and 20% to 30% on pumps according to their characteristics.
> Fans: at 80% of nominal flow, the energy consumption is 95% of nominal power with conventional installations instead of 50% with
AC drives.
> Pumps: even thought flow variation is not needed, most of the applications are AC drives save 20% of energy compared to conventional solutions.
> Using ECO8 software, you can easily estimate the energy saving according to your pump or fan applications and duty cycle.
Features & benefits:
> High performance variable torque applications:
> Fan: safety with forced start (fault inhibition, selection of the running direction and reference speed).
> Multi pump: with the programmable multi pump card, Altivar 61 brings you flexibility, usability and adaptability in management of multiple pumps.
> Pumps: essential functions to protect your installation under load, including detection of overload and fluid absence.
> IP54 version and "Simply Start" menu
HVAC control
70 to of HVAC applications (Air handling units and cooling towers) are fan applications. Compared to conventional installations, such as motor starter and flow regulation by an outlet valve, AC drives allow you to save up to 50% on energy consumption. On top of that, the Altivar 21 allows you to optimize
the motor control according to the load (air density). This result an additional percentages of energy savings.
Differentiation factors:
> Open to the main building communication networks: LonWorks, and BACnet.
> All essential functions for variable torque pumps and fans applications: PI regulator, automatic restart, recovery with the flight, skip frequencies, belt breakage detection, overload detection & under load detection
> "Harmonic less" and "plug & drive"
