Alpha Power Solutions uses the A. Eberle PQ-Box 300 to improve power quality and monitor harmonic distortion in industrial electrical systems across South Africa. The solution enables continuous high-frequency power quality recording up to 170 kHz, helping industrial plants identify inefficiencies, reduce energy costs, improve equipment lifespan, and prevent issues such as overheating, tripped breakers, and poor power factor performance.
Power factor correction is the ratio of real power absorbed by the load to the apparent power flowing in the circuit. Real power is the power actually consumed due to the resistive power load and apparent power is the power that the grid must withstand. Power factor correction equipment can be used within industrial, manufacturing and processing plants.
We have successfully helped our clients with solutions across a range of industries and applications. Harmonics are a type of electrical pollution which results in distorted voltage and current wave forms. This negatively impacts your electrical systems by increasing the root mean square (RMS) of the voltage and current, lowering the power factor and deteriorating the quality of the electrical supply.
