We are looking at installing Active Filters to mitigate enhanced harmonic propagation due to the addition of non linear loads to our network. We are experiencing about 2.8% Voltage THD at the 11kV point of common coupling which can peak at around 7% when differnet switching configurations are...
We have just fitted four lowara pumps that came with WEG motors (37kW 400V 2 pole) . These motors are controlled by ABB acs 800 active front end drives. Within a week we had lost Three of the four Motors, motors taking very large currents and tripping on overcurrent before they got anywhere near...
