Electronic Power Factor Correction

HPQ – The Intelligent Solution for Optimal Power Quality

With increasing electrification, automation, and the use of modern drive technologies, power quality is becoming a critical factor for reliable and efficient system operation.

A growing number of frequency converters and non-linear loads place stress on the electrical network while simultaneously being highly sensitive to the disturbances they generate. The result: increased risk of failures, inefficient processes, and unnecessary energy costs.

Poor power quality can therefore lead not only to technical issues but also to significant economic consequences.

This is where the HPQ comes in:
As a high-performance power quality solution, it ensures stable grid conditions, effectively mitigates disturbances, and provides the foundation for reliable system operation.

Performance Range and Applications

The HPQ is highly flexible and suitable for a wide range of applications:

• Power range from 35 to 277 kvar per cabinet
• Nominal voltage range from 200 V to 690 V
• Available as 3-wire or 4-wire system
• Ready for connection in a robust sheet steel floor-standing enclosure
• Compensation current from 50 A to 400 A

Three Key Challenges – One Solution

The HPQ addresses the most common power quality issues simultaneously:

• Dynamic reactive power compensation – for an optimal power factor
• Harmonic compensation – to reduce network disturbances
• Load balancing (unbalance compensation) – for uniform network loading
