Power quality
problems
"To
maintain the stability of power supply and keep the good power quality"
is the basic principle how the power system operated. However, due
to the mass consumption of non-linear loads recently and the conscientious
requirements of the power quality for many precision equipments,
how to minimize the bad quality power in the power supply chain
is becoming a critical issue for power companies, related industries
and research organizations.
There
are 2 sources of power pollutions:
- When
power system supplies electricity power, it will cause two types
of physical phenomenal called "transient current" and
"surge current". They make glitch on the sine current
wave. Normally, the alternating current (AC)'s sine wave should
be smooth. Therefore, the wasted power starts from here. This
is power pollution.
-
When the power transmits to the user end, the user end will generate
a small electrical net. The old machines or motors cause a lot
of "transient current" and "surge current"
moved around in the small electrical net which wastes a lot of
power and lower the power efficiency.
Furthermore,
the problems regarding the power quality can be classified as followings.
- Transient,
short time and long time low power pressure, or power interruption.
- Current
wave mistakes. Such as harmonic current, Inter-harmonics, Line
Voltage Notch
- Current
unbalance
- Voltage
flickers
- Frequency
variations.
From
the power system point of view, to keep the good power supply quality,
the power company needs to maintain the stability and quality of
the whole power system; the user needs to make sure the loading
characteristics of consumption devices will not cause the power
pollution to the power system.
From
the electric equipment user's point of view, how to lower the utility
waste; decrease the power interference between the equipments; and
avoid the operational accidents by bad power quality when using
the equipments are very crucial.
What is Power Factor?
Power factor is the percentage of electricity
that's delivered to your location and used effectively, compared
to what is wasted. For example, a 1.0 power factor means that all
the electricity that's being delivered to your place is being used
effectively for its purpose. However, most household, commercial
or industrial users received less than 0. 9 power factor. This means
that 90% or less of the electricity that is coming through your
meter to your home or business is being used effectively, the other
10% or more is wasted by your inductive load. With a low power factor
the utility has to deliver more electricity to do the same work,
which means user has to pay more to get the equal electricity at
power factor 1.0 they supposed to receive if they have low power
factor electricity supply.

Why Improve
Power Factor?
-
The electricity bill will be smaller. Low power factor requires
an increase in the electric utility's transmission and distribution
capacity in order to handle the reactive power component caused
by inductive loads. Electricity usually charge large customers
with power factors less than 0.95 an additional fee. Increasing
the power factor can avoid this additional fee.
-
The internal electrical system's capacity will increase. Uncorrected
power factor will cause increase losses in the electrical distribution
system and limit capacity for expansion.
- Voltage
drop at the point of use will be reduced (i.e. improved). Voltages
below equipment rating will cause reduced efficiency, increase
current, and reduced starting torque in motors. Under-voltage
reduces the load motors can carry without overheating or stalling.
Under-voltage also reduce output from lighting and resistance
heating equipment.
Our Technology
- to eliminate the power
polluation, improve the power facor and keep good electricity quality.
The
dynamometer ( reactor wave filter) is based on the theory of Micro-magnetism
and the technology of Electromagnetic balance to adjust the incoming
power to reach the Three-phase balance; as well as provide the proper
power ratio to the power consuming equipments. In the mean time,
by using the new high-tech material (Solid State Mica), the dynamometer
can decrease the useless power ratio and multi-times harmonics,
and eliminate the exciting currents; then series connects to the
circuit of the master switch on meter. It will help all the power
consumption equipments to work in a more actual power ratio environment,
operate in a better power quality status and best of it, to save
more power utility and customer's money.
Theory
We use the
advanced
technology of three-phase circuit corresponding combination to create
the reactance filtering power saving effects. As shown on Figure
1, the internal electricity structure is to fix the combination
of the series-connected reactor and the parallel-connected odd-even
fixed circuits to a three-column core. In which core there's a filter
to pass the higher harmonic voltage from the power transmission
circuits. (mainly the third, fifth, seventh harmonic voltiage)
<Figure 1>
As
shown on Figure 2, according to the power structure chart , when
the input power goes to R-S-T end, the voltage immediately goes
to the coil sets, then output voltage from the series coils and
parallel coils. The magnetic coil flux in the serial coil is the
magnetic flux generated by every exciting magnetic coil. Those flux
will gather together on a three-column core to make the magnetic
potential on the three-column core reached balance. Meanwhile, the
quantity of magnetic potential is approximately equal. Therefore,
the voltage and current reach balance at the output end, and the
quantity is about equal and the voltage will be stablized as the
nominal value.

To
sum it up, by using the principle of magnetic balance and our unique
technology, the power electricity can reach three phase balance.
It reduce the wastes of the electricity. Shown on Figure 3.

Benefits
Our
product workes as the filter in the water pipe. Except filtering
the unclean electricity, it provides more efficient, stable, practical
and economic assistances to the
inductive-load
devices by monitoring the power opeating situation on-site to reach
the best power saving results.
Benefits of our Technology
1. Decrease the magnitude of reactive power. Correct power factor
by adjust the wasting voltage back to the appreciate voltage, purify
the input power voltage, eliminate the pollution in power, and reduce
the inefficient power.
2. Balance Phase. Consist current, balance voltage. Avoid the ineffective
power utility if the electric meter operates in a relatively high
loading status while the electric current and voltage are not balanced
3. Increase 3-5% equipment capacity. Reduce the run-down of the
equipments and facilities. Extend the product life.
4. Reduce 5-10% power loading on devices. More safe to use power.
The tolerance rang of the current breaker increase more than 5%
