EMC FiltersIn the vicinity of electronics and control systems, there is often high powered equipment and cabling. In these situations it is possible that electronic circuits can be affected by these mains carrying components in such a way that signals become corrupted. Corrupted signals, especially in industrial surroundings, can lead to faulty operations or the disruption of a production line. These interferences are caused by mains failure, harmonic distortion and transient switching voltages. The important frequency range lies mostly between 10 kHz and 100 MHz with the majority of this between 100 kHz and 10 MHz.Mains filters are used to...[ Read More ]
ABB - Power Factor Correction SystemsPower Factor Controllers - New dimensions in PF correctionPower quality of the low voltage network is an important challenge for the industry of today. This leads to an increasing demand for more powerful, connected and user-friendly electrical devices. Power factor correction is certainly one important field of application where substantial improvement of the power quality can be obtained.The PF Controller is one of the most important components of the PF Correction equipment. As such, it plays a key role in the control and monitoring of the power quality. ABB offers the most powerful, complete and user-friendly...[ Read More ]

POWER QUALITY & THE BOTTOM LINEPC based controls and complex electronics are at the heart of the modern factory. This state of the art equipment allows your factory to run faster, smarter, and more efficiently then ever, but an investment in high tech automation is only as good as the infrastructure that supports it.Machines jam, materials misfeed, the line goes down. What happened? Chances are it was a power blip that caused sensitive automation equipment to stop operating just long enough to bring processes to a grinding halt and cost your company thousands of dollars. How much unscheduled downtime can you...[ Read More ]
Power Supply Systems: Red/LineDEHNbloc® Maxi - a Coordinated Lightning Current Arrester (10/350us waveform)The coordinated lightning current arresters of the DEHNbloc® Maxi product family adapt themselves to every kind of application. Whether being used in an exposed position or in rough industrial applications: DEHNbloc Maxi always offers the right solution. The single-pole devices are originally coordinated with the approved DEHNguard surge arresters of the RED/Line family. Independent from cable lengths and without requiring additional decoupling coils, the surge protection concept can be adapted individually to all conditions at the installation. DEHNbloc Maxi devices provide patented technology of encapsulated creepage discharge spark...[ Read More ]
MeteringEnergy metersThe nature of voltage mains has changed greatly in the last 10 years. With the proliferation of non-linear loads such as inverters, power converters, switch-mode power supplies, and computers, there is a growing concern for the quality of our power sources.Problems often arise which can cause equipment failure or shutdown resulting in significant costs and loss of production. Power quality problems can result in failure of compensation capacitors, tripping of fuses, over-heating of transformers and motors, failures of electronic equipment, and high neutral currents.Energy costs are becoming a significant expense in most processes. With increased energy unit costs, decreased...[ Read More ]
