PowerKure
TM consists of LRC tank circuits and zigzag reactors allowing it to capture and recycle losses across all three phases. PowerKure
TM is not a traditional capacitor bank nor is it an SCR or choke of any kind. We are designed in parallel as the lowest point of z% (impedance).
Balance Voltage Across All Three Phases: PowerKure
TM can stabilize voltage across all three phases using a combination of LRC tank circuits and phase shifting reactors. Balancing voltage across all three phases reduces heat and electrical losses. NEMA has a 5% limit on imbalanced phase voltages but even a 3% voltage imbalance will generate 18% more heat and heat will generate electrical losses.
Decrease Fluctuations: PowerKure
TM can improve voltage within each phase, minimize fluctuations and allow motors to run more efficiently. Additionally, PowerKure
TM has the ability to raise voltage by using LRC tank circuits and zigzag reactors to capture and recycle losses as needed.
Balance Current Across All Three Phases: PowerKure
TM balances the load over the three phases and mitigates phase currents, thus reducing negative sequences and circulating currents. It uses reactive passive components to help reduce three phase imbalances. Current balancing can often reduce utility bills with reductions in KW, KVA, KVAR and KWH.
Improve Power Factor: PowerKure
TM can optimize the power factor between .95 and .99 without capacitor banks and their associated side effects. PowerKure
TM will monitor the power factor and add capacitance, as needed, to maintain it at a predefined level.
Mitigate Broadband Harmonics and Recycle Losses: PowerKure
TM mitigates broadband harmonics or electrical frequencies above 60Hz, by first tuning and then detuning the harmonic. It uses multiple filters to capture the harmonics and then recycle the losses through the tank circuit. If harmonics are found to be extremely high, additional components will be used to reduce distortion at the targeted spectrum. This reduces electrical losses and improves equipment longevity and performance.
Mitigate Surges, Transients and Impulses: PowerKure
TM captures surges and transients, and then recycles the losses through the tank circuit. Impulses are clipped and sent to ground reducing the chance of equipment damage.
Brownout Protection: PowerKure
TM maintains and increases voltage during temporary brownouts, reducing equipment shutdowns. This is an optional feature that can be incorporated into the PowerKure
TM system.
Brownout Protection: PowerKure
TM supplies continuous voltage during intermittent supply failure of short durations, generally 1 second or less. This is an optional feature that can be incorporated into the PowerKure
TM system.
