Power Quality

Schneider Electric’s Power Quality range is designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance the overall reliability of electrical systems. With a focus on maintaining high power standards, this range offers comprehensive solutions for mitigating issues like harmonics, voltage fluctuations, and reactive power, which can lead to inefficiencies, equipment damage, and costly operational interruptions. These solutions are essential for industries such as manufacturing, data centers, hospitals, utilities, and commercial buildings, where power quality directly impacts productivity and system performance.

At the core of this range are Schneider Electric’s VarPlus™ Power Factor Correction Capacitors, designed to optimize reactive power compensation, reduce energy losses, and improve system efficiency. The VarPlus Can capacitors and VarSet Automatic Capacitor Banks ensure optimal power factor correction for both low- and medium-voltage applications, providing industries with a highly efficient way to reduce their energy consumption and avoid penalties associated with poor power factor.

Schneider also offers Active Harmonic Filters from the AccuSine™ PFV+ range, which provide real-time filtering to eliminate harmonics and reduce voltage distortion. These filters are ideal for industries where nonlinear loads, such as drives and UPS systems, generate harmonics that can degrade power quality and shorten the lifespan of equipment.

Complementing these solutions is Schneider’s range of Portable Network Analyzers, such as the PowerLogic ION7400 and ION9000 series, which offer advanced diagnostics for real-time power quality monitoring. These analyzers help identify and resolve power quality issues quickly, allowing businesses to maintain high levels of performance and reliability.

For South African businesses striving to maintain electrical efficiency and system reliability, Schneider Electric’s Power Quality range offers advanced solutions that improve energy management, reduce operational costs, and extend the lifespan of critical equipment, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
