Decrease Downtimes +
Electric arc furnaces are used in recycling plants where they melt scrap metal into high quality refined products. While different technologies exist, most arc furnaces are energized at medium voltage level, through a circuit breaker and a transformer. The secondary side of the power transformer feeds bus bars connected to… Read More -
Arc Flash Mitigation +
In heavy industry, transformer energization causes large inrush currents that can reach 15 times the nominal current. This phenomenon requires the setting of safety margins to minimize these currents, which make impossible to adjust the sensitive settings of protection relays. This condition can lead to a high incident energy faults… Read More -
Power Factor Correction +
As large energy consumers, heavy industries need to manage their reactive power which causes voltage fluctuations, active power losses and increases electricity bills. Companies require FACTS to address Power Factor challenges, reduce electricity bills, and meet the Grid Code criteria of local Power Utility when applicable. Equipment operated within FACTS… Read More -
Infrastructure Capacity +
Optimization of manufacturing and electrical infrastructure capacity is major concerns for industrials. Since the transformer protection has to coordinate with the utility fuse that feeds the site, energy capacity and required safety margins bring operational constraints. In fact, transformer size is typically limited by the presence of inrush currents, accordingly… Read More -
Asset Monitoring +
Maintenance cost optimization, enhanced reliability and increased availability of HV & MV mission critical assets are amongst the greatest challenges of the industry. Critical assets such as power transformers, circuit breakers, shunt reactors and capacitor banks are crucial to electrical power systems. Keeping these key assets operational as long as… Read More
