Power Quality & Reliability
Energy Efficient Power Correcting Transformers
Powersmiths pioneered the design and manufacture of harmonic correcting transformers and other power train related equipment. Our market leading power correcting products:
- Improve power quality
- Enhance reliability
- Reduce electrical waste
- Protect against equipment malfunction caused by excessive voltage distortion
- Ensure against premature equipment failure
Because computer and other digital devices operate with higher harmonic frequencies and tend to draw electricity in pulses, transformers built to serve the smoother waveloads of the past do not perform well under today’s loads. Common issues include; over-heated transformers and conductors, increased electricity waste in the form of heat, equipment malfunction from excessive voltage distortion, higher maintenance costs and premature equipment failure.
Forward thinking building owners, landlords and tenants are discovering how improved power quality adds value to their buildings through enhanced electrical performance, reduced energy costs and other cost-related savings.
T1000-C3 - Super Efficient Harmonic Correcting Transformers
The T1000-C3 is an enhanced energy efficient harmonic cancellation transformer designed to treat the 3rd harmonic on the output and the 5th and 7th on the primary through a 30 degree phase shift. The T1000-C3 meets Class 3 efficiency levels - exceeding EPACT 2005 and is the most efficient harmonic correcting transformer on the market. Designed with IEEE 519 in mind, the T1000-C3 improves power quality, saves energy, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
N1000 - Transformer
The N1000 is designed to treat neutral current, neutral to ground voltage and 3 rd harmonic current flowing in the neutral conductor. It is connected in parallel to the electrical system. This is an ideal retrofit product for electrical systems with high neutral current.
Harmonic Conditioners - HC
The harmonic conditioner (HC) represents a comprehensive range of products designed to treat 5th, 7th, 11th and 13th harmonics in 3-phase systems. Powersmiths’ HCs treat harmonic currents created by 3-phase nonlinear loads such as rectifiers and variable frequency drives.
Energy Monitoring and Protection System
Every building has a need for energy and power monitoring, protection from lightning, transients and over voltage conditions. Many equipment failures and outages are caused by events external to the building. Powersmiths offers a comprehensive product family to address these issues individually or on a combined integrated basis.
Cyberhawk MPC
The MPC combines the most advanced features of energy and power monitoring with an unparalleled system for protection against lightning, transients and over voltage conditions. The MPC provides real-time and historical data over the web to energy managers, facility managers and power quality specialists. The Cyberhawk MPC is the system of choice for energy cost conscious users in mission critical environments.
PRO Series - Transient Voltage Protection (SPD)
These products are ideally suited for in-building protection against low frequency disturbances and internally generated transients. They can be integrated into Powersmiths transformers to save space and construction costs or installed separately at panel boards and control systems. The PRO Series offers flexibility in level of protection and cost. The PRO Series can be networked with STEP modules.
