10 Why use the PQF range of Active Filters (1)? because it is the best active filter around! ABB n.v Filters up to 20 (PQFM/I) individually selectable harmonics simultaneously in a range up to the 50 th harmonic (15 harmonics for PQFK & PQFS operating in 4 wire mode) Desired harmonic levels can be preset for each individual harmonic Unsurpassed harmonic attenuation factor ( 97% typically) Operates with closed loop control for best accuracy Stepless load balancing and reactive power compensation feature Different modes of operation and smooth mode changing strategy Auto temperature derating function If ambient temperature increases beyond acceptable limits (e.g. faulty airco) the filter will auto-derate smoothly (down to max. 50% of its rating) and inform customer of this. After correction of the problem, the filter will resume original rating automatically

17 Why select individual harmonics and levels? Filter optimizes operation for each individual harmonic ( Wideband systems) The user can allocate resources to the harmonics he needs to filter and can forget about the others ( Wideband systems) Ł Efficient use of resources The user can put filtering levels in accordance with the regulations/technical needs ( Wideband systems) Ł Efficient use of resources The filter can be used in parallel with existing passive filter units ( Wideband systems)!!!

Beware of pseudo closed loop systems!!! - Open loop systems that use a closed loop measurement - Calculate the open loop reference by subtracting the data obtained from two different CT types ABB n.v Ł Introduces inaccuracies in the control

23 Why use closed loop control? Directly measure and control harmonic current flowing to network No risk of wrong THDI calculation Can verify harmonic according to regulation directly Simple CT connection Normal CT X/5A class 1 is sufficient Easy for future harmonic load extensions Better accuracy & safety Appropriate for Local & Global compensation Closed loop control Control point PQF VFD Other loads Open loop operation Control point CT:x/1A AF?
