Textiles Spinning Industries Solution

Typical Challenges

• Periodic failure of expensive electronic cards and therefore abrupt tripping of continuous spinning machines
• Low grade quality of yarn thread due to interruption in power supply
• Increased losses due to high harmonic distortion
• Varying load profile thus making traditional power factor correction solution ineffective in maintaining true power factor close to unity (lagging)
• Low power factor (especially when DC drives are present)

Root Cause Analysis

• High level of harmonic distortion is the main reason of sensitive cards failure
• Carding, Ring Frame, Auto Coner and Simplex identified as major non-linear loads - can be driven by AC or DC drives

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

• Reduced likelihood (almost negligible) of sensitive electronic cards failure
• Superior quality of yarn thread
• Total current harmonic distortion maintained within limits specified as per IEEE standard (iTDD <8%) - free from any risk of harmonic penalty (if applicable)
• Uninterrupted operation of continuous process based spinning machines
• True power factor maintained close to unity; free from any risk of low pf penalty (if applicable)
• Significantly reduced monthly electricity bills
