Why SineWave

Why Sinewave?

What makes active conditioners different?
The main advantages of active conditioners is that they continue to guarantee efficient harmonic compensation even when changes are made to the installation. They are also exceptionally easy to use as they feature:

  • Auto-configuration to harmonic loads whatever their order of magnitude,

  • Elimination of overload risks,

  • Compatibility with electrical generator sets,

  • Connection to any point of the electrical network,

  • Several conditioners can be used in the same installation to increase depollution efficiency (for example when a new machine is installed).

How do active conditioners work?
Active conditioners analyse the harmonics drawn by the load and then inject the same harmonic current to the load with the appropriate phase. As a result, the harmonic currents are totally neutralised at the point considered. This means they no longer flow upstream and are no longer supplied by the source.

Where should active conditioners be installed?
Treating harmonics requires accurate, in-depth knowledge of the installation. In new installations we recommend calculating global harmonic distortion for various key points during the design phase. In existing installations it is often best to have an expert audit the site and prepare a full diagnosis. In all cases it is essential to define the main objective:

  • Either compliance with standards
    In this case, the active conditioner must be placed upstream from the installation (with an "injection" point close to the utility supply network),

  • Or reduction in pollution level within the installation
    In this case the solution is to neutralise harmonics as close as possible to the main nonlinear loads. Active conditioners should be located downstream (in the secondary switchboard or final distribution boards).
