active comp naac's product

The Activcomp is a state of the art, electronic switching system designed for Power factor Correction & Harmonic Filter.

Connection and disconnection of the capacitors to and from the network occurs at zero current crossing. This smooth connection avoids the transient effects typically created by electro mechanically switched PFC systems.
 

The electronic switches do not wear out or deteriorate during the switching process and the capacitors are not adversely affected by transients. These advantages contribute to a much longer life expectancy compared with electro mechanically switched PFC systems.

The power factor is controlled very accurately by means of an advanced closed loop control & measuring unit, that takes into consideration all three phases and the effect of harmonics
(1 through 63).

The Activcomp system is equipped with a unique scan feature that protects capacitors from "exploding" and contributes to longer life expectancy. This is achieved by reducing over-current and overheating in the capacitors which may result from harmonics on the mains. The switching element can perform an unlimited number of switching operations. The connection of one group of capacitors occurs simultaneously with the disconnection of another group. This operation is performed every few seconds and engages all capacitor group in turn, resulting in a reduction of mean current due to the lower ratio of engagement time to cycle time (duty cycle).

The scan feature, together with the unique reactor design, substantially reduces the temperature rise of the reactors and protects the cabinet from overheating.

Controller

A digital signal processor (DSP) and a VLSI component form the basis of the controller's technology. It features an LCD display, analog and digital circuitry, precise firing algorithms and optional communication capabilities. The controller has 9 input channels; 4 voltages (for Wye networks), 3 main currents and 2 internal system currents. The information obtained from these measurements is used for Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis, performed each network cycle on all channels. Further harmonics are calculated on all phases, allowing the Activcomp to achieve ideal compensation even in the presence of harmonics.

The Activcomp's controller is available with a choice of data gathering levels, from essential power parameter measurements only (V, I, f, kW, kVA, kVAr) to complete power system performance monitoring that takes advantage of the comprehensive measurement system (over 2,000 electrical parameters, including min/max levels and four-quadrant measurement of power and power factor).

The large LCD display is full-graphic, 160x128 pixels, and has long-lasting LED backlighting with FSTN technology. Characters are displayed in varying sizes and methods to enhance visibility. These include a Large Digits display, Harmonic spectrums, real-time Waveform plots and simple Text screens that include menus, easy-to-use setup programs and various measurements.
