Compensator improves network power
quality
The Dynacomp acts as an ultra-rapid and transient-free capacitor bank with the reactive power step switching carried out by thyristor modules.
ABB has a released a new version of its Dynacomp dynamic response compensator developed to provide fast and smooth reactive power compensation to solve a variety of industrial network power quality problems associated with fast variable loads such aslow power factor, voltage sags, flicker and high harmonic levels The Dynacomp acts as an ultra-rapid and transient-free capacitor bank with the reactive power step switching carried out by thyristor modules

Filter increases safety and cuts neutral currents
ABB's new PQF-T active filter can reduce the risk of cables overheating and overloading, as well as increasing energy efficiency.
These static switches and advanced controllers offer ultra-rapid power factor compensation, a reduction of voltage drop and flicker, transient-free switching, a high number of switching operations, and a modular and compact design.
They are also easy to install and extend.
It is equipped with an advanced controller and offers a wide power range for all network voltages ranging from 380V to 690V.
The Dynacomp is available in both three-phase and single-phase versions and there is also a choice of detuning reactors to suit all types of application.
Its modular design and CAN bus control makes it easy to use standard power units to build a system with the necessary power rating to suit the exact load requirements.
It is also simple to extend the Dynacomp to adapt to changing future needs.
In addition to reactive power compensation, the Dynacomp also partially filters harmonic currents, thereby reducing total harmonic distortion and improving the network power quality.
