Harmonics Distort the Input Voltage on Power Lines and Causing Issues In Your Application?

Why are Harmonics import? Harmonics distort the input voltage on power lines, which affects the electrical system in various ways. Harmonics can overheat power wires and transformers or cause erratic operation of other electrical loads. When these situations occur, it opens the door for downtime and expensive repairs.

Traditional VFD technology can create Harmonics, and today many modern electronics like LEDs, Switch mode power supplies, and more also attribute to Harmonics making electric power quality more important now than ever.

In the past these issues were remedied with large and costly multi-pulse drives, passive input filters, or active input filters. Yaskawa has a better answer.

The U1000 Matrix Drive is Yaskawa's most innovative and robust drive providing Ultra-Low Harmonic input along with dynamic braking and regenerative features in an all in one compact drive.

Different Types of Pallet Racking for Expansion

Your business is growing and you either need to expand your current warehouse or build a new warehouse to support your growth. At least, until you have to decide what type of pallet racking system you need to install. In its simplest form, a pallet racking system is a material storage system. Pallet racking helps you stay organized within your warehouse and better manage you inventory. Choosing pallet racking, however, is not as simple as selecting a pallet rack brand and installing it. There several racking types that help you meet your needs. The type of racking you choose depends on a few criteria: How tall the racking needs to be What the floor plan will be What goods will be stored What types of forklifts you currently use or forklifts you intend to switch to What type of inventory management system makes sense for your product & operation Types of Pallet Racking: Selective Racking Selective racking systems are some of the most common and widely used racking sy...

What is an Electric Recloser

The device is a switching device that performs the function of automatic sectioning of overhead or combined power lines. The word "recloser" itself appeared relatively recently. In the zero years, many power engineers were unfamiliar with this concept. Previously, the device was called a sectioning unit, which was used to divide overhead lines into sections. This division allowed and still allows to temporarily take emergency sections out of service to repair damage without disconnecting power supply to the entire facility. However, the recloser still has some differences. The main element of the device is a vacuum circuit breaker , which allows automatically disconnecting and reconnecting AC circuits according to a predetermined algorithm. It protects power lines from overloads and short circuits. The device also allows for monitoring, recording the characteristics, parameters of power grids.

Plan and Design Power System for Addition of New Reactor to the Existing Anhydride Plant

The major equipment for this modification consisted of Reactor and Salt Heater on anhydride plant. Both equipment were handling hazardous material. Thus the environment around the major equipment was determined and found to be Class 1 Div 2. The electrical system was designed accordingly as per codes for classified hazardous area. Due to large motor load of the Reactor Motor and poor power factor. Soft Starter was added to inhibit the starting inrush current and capacitor were added to mitigate the power factor. In addition to the two major equipment there were number of other pumps that required Variable Frequency Drives to regulate the speed. The client purchased the electrical equipment from Germany marketplace. That presented some challenges in understanding the drawing prepared in German standard.The other challenge was to interface the German standard connections to the equipment in conformance with Canadian Standards and as per Canadian Codes.
