Power electronic loads such as drives, ozone generators and UV filtration equipment have one major drawback in common: they produce harmonics. Harmonics may disrupt other loads and increase operating costs and lower the reliability of the electrical network. In addition, applying power factor correction is complicated by the presence of harmonics in a network. Schneider Electric offers many types of harmonic filtering and power factor correction solutions to address these common problems.

AccuSine PCS: More than a Harmonic Filter
Square D® AccuSine PCS dynamically corrects power quality by providing:

• Active harmonic filtration
  
• Resonance prevention
  
• Power factor correction
  
• Dynamic VAR compensation

AccuSine PCS can be universally applied for all types of harmonic generating loads, even on the same supply bus. It can be applied on sources rated 208V to 480V, 50Hz or 60 Hz. Additionally, the performance is the same regardless of the source characteristics. AccuSine PCS is offered in standard NEMA 1 enclosure or in the Model 6 motor control center. Other enclosure types are available upon request.

AccuSine is designed to meet the most stringent level of IEEE 519-1992 Table 10.3 at the PCC with a utility, at an internal bus, or at an individual nonlinear load. Using AccuSine in conjunction with 6 pulse drives is often more cost effective than using 18-pulse drives as a means to reduce harmonic distortion.

Reactivar® Power Factor Correction Capacitors & Passive Harmonic Filter Systems
When the total content of nonlinear loads is less than 15% of all loads, fixed or stepped power factor capacitors can be used for displacement power factor correction. Products such as the AV4000 and AV5000 series are excellent choices.

When the total content of nonlinear loads is less than 50% of all loads, fixed or stepped detuned power factor systems, AV6000/AT6000, or fixed or stepped 5th harmonic tuned filters, AV7000/AT7000, are good product choices. In all cases, be sure to perform simulations to insure that capacitor resonance does not occur.

When the nonlinear load content exceeds 50% of the total loads, AccuSine PCS is typically the best solution.
