Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the new generation of Electronic Power Factor (PF) Corrector Systems developed by Karmet Group Companies, focusing on improving operating efficiency and reducing energy costs by minimizing reactive energy consumption.

Specifications
The systems utilize thyristor-controlled modules for fast and efficient reactive energy correction. Key features include:
  • 32-step capacitive and 2-step inductive sensitivity correction.
  • Zero current switching for increased capacitor life.
  • Modular architecture for easy installation and scalability.
  • Remote communication and monitoring capabilities.

Procedures
The systems operate by independently controlling each phase, allowing for optimal handling of unbalanced loads. The response time for load changes is 20 milliseconds, significantly reducing the risk of overloading and network losses.

Norms and Standards
The systems are designed to work with both monophase and three-phase systems, with operating voltages of 220/230 VAC and 380/400 VAC, respectively. They comply with standard operating frequencies of 50Hz and offer a correction tolerance of ±2% VAR.

Recommendations
For optimal performance, it is recommended to use these systems in parallel with classical compensation systems, especially in environments with fast-changing loads. The use of harmonic filters is advised to suppress system harmonics and prevent electrical noise.

Key Data and Analysis
Tables and screen shots in the document illustrate the significant reduction in reactive power and the stabilization of active power when the electronic compensation system is active. The systems are shown to reduce kVA values by over 25%, enhancing generator efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

Conclusion
The EKM and EKT series offer a reliable and efficient solution for power factor correction, addressing the limitations of conventional systems and providing significant energy savings and improved network performance.

2 NEW GENERATION ELECTRONIC THYRISTOR CONTROLLED PF CORRECTOR SYSTEMS ELECTRONIC PF CORRECTOR SYSTEMS Improved operating efficiency is crucial and topical subject around the world. Reduction of energy costs is regarded worldwide as one of the crucial challenges to all branches of the industry. Reactive energy is chiefly regarded as one of the causes for the consumption of unusable energy and that is why reducing reactive energy usage has traditionally been one of the simplest ways to conserve energy. Today, Conventional Compensation Systems are the most common solution providers to eliminate...

4 Separate Correction of Each Phase (EKM) – Capaciti ve an d Inducti ve Correction with 20 msec . Correction Spee d (EKM-EKT) Load unbalances among phases are perfectly eliminated with separate correction of each phase. The number of activated capacitors is limited to the actual requirement at each phase. Capacitive reactive load correction is also maintained at each phase with a similar logic. Added reactor to sixth arm can also be set in motion via thyristor module if inductive kvar is needed.

6 As demonstrated below, while the active power remains stable (81 kW-83 kW), the kVA value diminishes by more than 25% (116 kVA – 84 kVA). Such a significant difference can be explained by as follows; 1. Additional Power Capacity: Generator’s consumed power for reactive energy (over 25%) can be used for active energy (pf corrected from 0.7), so that it will be possible to have more loads with the same generator set. 2. Energy Saving: Since the reactive power is eliminated, the current at mains will decrease at the same rate, which will bring savings on energy usage. 3. More efficient Operation...
