Textiles Weaving Industries Solution

Typical Challenges

• Presence of high harmonic distortion, iTDD exceeding standard limit specified by IEEE
• Low true power factor
• Increased losses due to high harmonic distortion
• Occasional failure of sensitive electronic cards, malfunctioning of control circuits and therefore abrupt tripping of continuous weaving machines

Root Cause Analysis

• High level of harmonic distortion generated by AC/DC drives employed in loom machine is the main reason behind failure related issues
• High harmonics resulting in low power factor (true)

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%) - free from any risk of harmonic penalty (if applicable)
• Fine quality of fabric and cloth
• Reduced likelihood (almost negligible) of sensitive electronic cards failure
• Uninterrupted operation of continuous process based weaving machines
• True power factor maintained close to unity; free from any risk of low pf penalty (if applicable)
• Significantly reduced monthly electricity bills
