Fast return on investmentThe quick and effective response of a PowerAct active harmonic filter to power system variations ensures:

• Higher process reliability

• Longer equipment life

Improve power quality• Mitigates harmonics

• Stabilizes voltage

PowerAct is a core building block of our smart grid product solutions. PowerAct makes it easy to comply with power quality

standards and demanding grid codes.

Designed IEEE 519-2014 Compliant

Built compact for small areas, PowerAct can expand to 500A inside a cabinet and you can link up to 6 cabinets to deliver a capacity of

3000A. The result is a flexible, controlled, and compact, harmonic filter that is safe, easy to operate. PowerAct is designed to comply

with IEEE 519-2014 harmonic requirements.

Applications for all industries• Motors with variable frequency and variable speed drives

• High pressure pumps with variable frequency drives (VFDs), uninterrupted power supply (UPS), ozone generators

• UV lights in water treatment plants

• HVAC and lighting systems in data centers and commercial buildings

• Conveyor systems and picking robots in warehousing

• Variable speed generators in wind power generation to prevent electrical resonance

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and other sensitive electronics in medical and industrial facilities

• Compressors and drives in plastic molding and extrusion facilities

• Reduced energy costs

• Dependable productivity

• Balances phase loads

• Compensates for poor power factor

• No limitation compensation for all odd harmonics up to the 51st order

• 4 priority settings compensate for harmonics, dynamic

reactive power, voltage control, and unbalanced loads

• Compensation for current or voltage control with 4 different

sensing points

• Energy efficient, 3-level IGBT inverter topology with DC-bus

film capacitors that operate up to 800 v

• Models have dedicated cooling chimney's to protect electronics

• Expandable module and wall mount unit need to be across from

each other.

Future proof processes. Easy to grow. Easy to service.

• Voltage control compensation to improve compensation

and eliminate current sensors

• 7” touch screen or remote access via TCP/IP

• Predictive algorithm provides anti-resonance

protection during network changes

• Comprehensive monitoring and reporting

• IEEE-519-2014, EN 55011, class A1 compliant
