Automatic compensation in real-time - ALPISTATIC
ALPES TECHNOLOGIES, one of the leaders in reactive energy compensation and harmonic filtering,
offers a new automatic capacitor bank concept : ALPISTATIC
ALPISTATIC is a low voltage real-time reactive power compensation unit using solid state switches.
To face increasingly sophisticated industrial processes including large numbers of
devices sensitive to voltage variations (PLCs, industrial computers, etc.) or having
ultra-fast cycles (robots, welding machines, variable speed drives, etc.), ALPES
TECHNOLOGIES developed ALPISTATIC.
ALPISTATIC is a “soft, fast” reactive energy compensation system suitable for this
new generation of receiving devices.
ALPISTATIC has three main advantages compared with conventional systems using
electromechanical switching :
-
no transient currents when capacitors are triggered which might cause
voltage troughs.
-
no transient excess voltages or triggering of capacitors due to difficulties in
cutting off the electrical arc.
-
very short response time: 40 milliseconds.
ALPISTATIC is primarily designed for :
-
compensation for the power factor (cos . ) of main low voltage switchboards
-
consumers wishing to reduce their total electricity consumption
-
independent energy generators to optimise units (generator units, etc.).
ALPISTATIC is particularly suitable for providing compensation for receivers:
-
which do not accept transient currents or voltage (PLCs, computer
equipment...)
-
with ultra-fast cycles (welding machines, lifts, robots, variable speed
drives...)
-
with pulsating torques (roll mills, compressors, reciprocating
saws...)
-
which generate flicker (devices with extremely inductive loads, arc furnaces,
welding machines...)
