Installation of a Static VAR Generator to improve power factor and an active harmonic filter to reduce harmonic distortion unit was carried out by PQIS for Auto Body Repair Company in Birmingham. Both of the solutions are incorperated in the same unit for this customer.
The Static Var Generator Module corrected the power factor from 0.84 to 0.99 mitigating KW Losses and reducing maximum KVA demand and reactive power KVAR.
The Active Harmonic Filter Module negates the Harmonic distortion of the current, THD(I), which was reduced from 27% to 4% reducing KW losses and improving the electrical environment for connected equipment.
