The basis
The nature of energy
Active energy All electrical devices powered by AC current convert the electrical energy supplied into mechanical work and heat. This energy is measured in kWh and is called active energy. The loads absorbing only this type of energy are called resistive loads. Reactive energy Some loads require magnetic fields to operate (motors, transformers, etc.) and consume another type of energy called reactive energy. This can be explained as follows: these loads (called inductive loads) absorb energy from the network when the magnetic fields required to operate them are generated and they discharge it when these fields are destroyed. This transfer of energy between the loads and the source (fig. 1) causes voltage losses and drops in conductors and therefore consumption of extra energy that cannot be directly used by loads.

Calculations in the three-phase example were as follows: Pn = power supplied to the rotary axis = 51 kW P = active consumed power = Pn/ = 56 kW S = apparent power = P/cos = P/0.86 = 65 kVA hence: Q = (S2 + P2) = (652 +562)6 = 33 kVAr The average power factor values for various loads are given below.

Reduced losses
Reduced Joule effect losses Installing capacitors allows the Joule effect losses to be reduced (temperature rise) in the conductors and transformers. The meter records these losses as consumed energy (kWh). The losses are proportional to the square of the current. The following formula can be used to determine the loss reduction according to the cos of the installation: Final losses Initial losses = (initial cos ) final cos

Example: Loss reduction in a 630 kVA transformer, Pcu = 6,500 W with an initial cos of 0.7. When by power factor correction, we obtain final cos = 0.98, the new losses become: 3.316 W.

From the data supplied by the manufacturers of the various loads, such as the active power, load factor, cos , etc. and if the simultaneity factor of each load in the installation is known, the levels of the active and reactive power consumed throughout the installation can be determined.
Simplified method
A simplified method of calculating the power factor correction requirements of an installation can be used provided that the following data is known: the initial average cos , the cos required, the average active power of the installation. This data can be obtained: by calculation, as indicated for the general method by estimation, according to the installed power They are used to perform the calculation with the help of the table.

From measurements
Take several measurements downstream of the main circuit breaker with the installation under normal load conditions. Measure the following data: active power (kW), inductive power (kVAr), cos . From this data, choose the average cos of the installation and check this value in the most unfavourable situation.

When a motor drives a high inertia load, it may, after breaking of supply voltage, continue to rotate using its kinetic energy and be self-excited by a capacitor bank mounted at its terminals.The capacitors supply the reactive energy required for it to operate in asynchronous generator mode. Such self-excitation results in voltage holding and sometimes in high overvoltages.

Interharmonics
Interharmonics are sinusoidal components with frequencies that are not integral multiples of the fundamental frequency (and therefore situated between the harmonics). They are the result of periodic or random variations of the power absorbed by different loads such as arc furnaces, welding machines and frequency converters (variable speed drives, cycloconvertors).

Harmonic generators
Harmonics are generally produced by non-linear loads which, although powered by a sinusoidal voltage, absorb a non-sinusoidal current. In short, non-linear loads are considered to behave as current sources that inject harmonics into the network. The most common non-linear harmonic loads are those found in devices fed by power electronics, such as variable speed drives, rectifiers, converters, etc. Loads such as saturable reactors, welding equipment, arc furnaces etc. also inject harmonics. Other loads have a linear behaviour and do not generate harmonics: inductors, resistors and capacitors.
Fig.18 : linear loads such as inductors, capacitors and resistors do not generate harmonics
The following table is a guide to the various loads with information on the injected harmonic current spectrum.

All the components and applications recommended in this catalogue are only valid if the operating limits given below are met, in order to prevent the detuned reactors and capacitors from being overloaded. The THD(U) must be measured at the transformer secondary with the capacitor banks. The lmp current must be measured in the capacitors.

General:
The purpose of the detuned reactors (DR) is to prevent the harmonics present on the network from being amplified and to protect the capacitors (this corresponds to our Harmony range). They must be connected in series with the capacitors. Caution: as the detuned reactors generate an overvoltage at the capacitor terminals, capacitors of at least 480 V must be used for a 400 V network.
Technical data:
Choice of tuning The tuning frequency fr corresponds to the resonance frequency of the L-C assembly. fr = 1/ (2LC) We also speak of tuning order n. For a 50 Hz network, we have: n = fr / 50 Hz The tuning order chosen must ensure that the harmonic current spectrum range is outside the resonance frequency. It is also important to ensure that no remote-control frequencies are disturbed. The most common tuning orders are 3, 8 or 4.3 (2.7 is used for 3rd order harmonics).
Single-phase Gh: power of single-phase harmonic generators in kVA. (1): a tuning frequency of 215 Hz can be used in France with a remote control frequency of 175 Hz

Ref. 51670 Specially designed horizontal crosspieces allow easy installation of power factor correction modules in all types of functional and universal cubicles 400 or 500 mm deep. Crosspoieces automatically ensure that the module is correctly positioned at the right depth and maintain a distance of 55 mm between modules. Crosspieces are sold in pairs and must be ordered separately.

Presentation
General information
Harmonic filtering equipment are presented in cubicles. Harmonic filtering solutions comply with IEC 604-39 standard. Three types of solutions are available: Passive filter It is made up of detuned reactors and capacitors tuned on the harmonic frequency of the order to be suppressed. In other words, they are designed to absorb harmonic currents at a particular frequency. In case of more than one order to eliminate, several unit can be associated. A passive filter enables to: correct the power factor benefit from a high capacity of filtering Active filter An active filter cancels harmonics by dynamically injecting out of phase harmonic current. It reduces current distortion that, in turn, reduces voltage distortion Hybrid filter It is made up of a passive filter combined with an active filter in the same cubicle.
Characteristics
Passive filter Network voltage Harmonic order cancelled Reactive power Other voltages and powers on request. 400 V three phase 5th to 11th from 100 kvar to 350 kvar
Active filter Network voltage Harmonic order cancelled Power ratings from 208 to 480 V three-phase from 2nd to 50th up to 300 A per unit Expandable capabilities : parallel up to 10 units with different ratings on one set of current transformer
Hybrid filter Network voltage Passive filter Active filter Reactive power Harmonic order treated 400 V three phase 5th order from 20 A up to 350 kvar (other power on request) 2nd to 25th
