Low Voltage Products:
Look to Controllix capacitors for:
- Controlling System Voltage
- Reducing Equipment Loading
- Reducing System Losses
- Reducing Utility Demand Charge
- Controlling Harmonic Distortion
Per ANSI standards, low voltage equipment is for use with nominal system voltages less than 1,000 volts. Medium voltage equipment is for nominal voltages greater than 1,000 volts and less than 100,000 volts. High voltage equipment is applied to nominal system voltages greater than 100,000 volts.
Harmonic Studies: Complete Electrical Distribution System Evaluations
Controllix offers a unique service to industrial and utility concerns requiring extensive evaluations of electrical power distribution systems.
The Controllix Power Systems Analysis provides a complete software-based study of any electrical power system offering:
• Accurate harmonic flow simulation
• Identification of capacitor resonant conditions
• Fault and network solutions by modeling
• Fault characteristic determinations
• System load balance data
• Accurate harmonic flow simulation
• Identification of capacitor resonant conditions
• Fault and network solutions by modeling
• Fault characteristic determinations
• System load balance data
Controllix provides three types of power distribution system studies:
The Harmonic Study investigates the total system for inductive, reactive and filtering requirements. Typical equipment involved includes transformers, cable (lengths), SCR’s, DC drives, ARC furnaces and fluorescent lighting.
The Fault Study analyzes an existing system to determine if equipment is rated specifically to handle fault currents. In-plant expansions and new equipment additions (i.e., motors, rotating machines, transformers, etc.) are examples of this type of study.
The Coordination Study reviews isolation of faults. A property coordinated system allows for quick isolation with minimum system disruption. Usual equipment/devices studied include low voltage circuit breakers, fuses and relays.
The Power System Analysis provides Controllix engineers with a flexible structure for database development and graphic processing. The software also provides for files describing voltages and currents within a system. Using these features, large power systems can be modeled through computer simulations.
Programmable parameters greatly reduce the need for costly, time consuming field tests and measurements and allow Controllix engineers to analyze extensive system configurations and solve complex power distribution problems.
