FMCG Industries Solution

Typical Challenges

• Presence of high harmonic distortion, iTDD exceeding standard limit specified by IEEE
• Recurrent failure of expensive electronic cards, frequent failure of AC capacitor banks and malfunctioning of control circuits
• Production down-time due to halt in operation of continuous machines
• Inflated monthly electricity bills due to low power factor (true)

Root Cause Analysis

• High level of harmonic distortion is the main reason of expensive cards failure
• 7Bar Air Compressor, 40Bar Air Compressor, Refrigeration Panel, Juice Line identified as major non-linear loads - can be driven by AC or DC drives
• High harmonics resulting in low true power factor

Solution

• P2 Power Active Harmonic Filter at major nonlinear loads (p2p-415-af3)
• P2 Power Hybrid Filter (p2p-415-hf3) - best suited when power factor is low

Benefits

• Total current harmonic distortion maintained within limits specified as per IEEE standard (iTDD <8%)
• Significant savings (both tangible and intangible) through elimination of failures
• Improved supply voltage by reduced harmonic distortion
• True power factor maintained close to unity
• Significant savings through reduction in monthly electricity bills
• Unbroken operation of continuous process machines
