PQstar® Active Dynamic Filter
The increasing electrification in all areas of industry and life, the growing presence of non-linear loads in the grid, and the rising share of renewable energy in electricity generation make it essential to monitor and improve power quality more rigorously. Unaddressed power quality issues cause significant financial losses across a wide range of sectors, from electricity distribution to industrial production. Preventing these losses is possible with the PQstar active dynamic filter.
Your overvoltage/undervoltage problem is resolved
The PQstar active dynamic filter performs dynamic voltage regulation and helps maintain the voltage within limits. Pastor achieves this without requiring a battery.
Phase imbalances are prevented from damaging the transformer
The PQstar active dynamic filter eliminates the neutral current going to the transformer by transferring current from high-current phases to low-current phases.
Harmonics are dampened, protecting both your electrical equipment and your transformer
The PQstar active dynamic filter dampens both load current harmonics and voltage harmonics.
The PQstar is way ahead of traditional active filters with its superior features
- A single PQstar product performs dynamic voltage regulation, phase balancing, and harmonic suppression, eliminating the need for purchasing additional devices.
- Instead of thyristor or IGBT-based technologies, PQstar uses SiC-based technology. As a result, PQstar becomes lighter and more compact, achieves a faster dynamic response, and reduces thermal losses.
- Thanks to SiC technology, PQstar has lower EMI emissions compared to traditional active filters, thereby protecting your sensitive equipment (especially in hospitals, data centers, and airports).
