StacoSine active harmonic filter
Staco Energy Products introduces a new open chassis product line of StacoSine® active harmonic filters. The open chassis assembly allows a wide range of original equipment manufacturers, systems integrators and panel builders to incorporate the StacoSine® within their final equipment configurations. This can include motor control centers, switchgear/switchboards, automation controls, and other electrical power distribution apparatus. The active filter can be mounted in a 20” deep enclosure, up through 300 amps.
Active Harmonic Filters which dynamically cancel problematic harmonics from the 3rd to the 51st order – allowing more efficient use of electricity. The active filter measures the harmonics generated from a nonlinear load and cancels them with a newly generated, opposite phase shifted harmonic current of the same amplitude (AC/DC/AC). StacoSine® active harmonic filters are ideal for use with variable frequency drive systems, pumps/HVAC, water and wastewater treatment plants, off-shore oil platforms, on-site and emergency power generation, three-phase UPS, datacenters, process industries and general manufacturing environments.
The rating (ampere size) of the StacoSine® is based on nonlinear load requirements (corrective current) rather than linear and nonlinear like traditional filters equipment. This allows a StacoSine® with a reduced rating to be used – at a lower initial equipment cost. Up to six units can be easily and conveniently added in parallel to accommodate future equipment additions.
Virtually no time is lost for installation, ensuring that uptime and production schedules are optimized. StacoSine® meets or exceeds Total Demand Distortion (TDD) limits specified in table 10.3 of the stringent IEEE 519 Standards.
Models are available for 208 through 690 Vac. Equipment ratings are from 25 to 300 amperes. An LCD graphic multifunctional display and analyzer (waveform and spectrum data) with eight function keypad for simple operation, and cable is provided separately, for mounting on the front panel of an enclosure.
StacoSine ® immediately improves electrical network efficiency by providing global or selectable harmonic control. It reduces operations and maintenance costs and is UL508, c-UL listed. In addition to filtering our dangerous harmonics, the StacoSine® also compensates reactive power factor of lagging loads, acts as a damping resistor to prevent harmonic resonance, and does not create a resonance condition.
“The open chassis design is ideal for OEMs, system integrators and panel builders that want to provide added value to their end-customers, while bundling a more complete solution” says Chuck Gougler, Marketing Manager.
