Alpha Power Solutions - Power Factor Correction and Harmonic Filtration

Eskom is working hard to come up with both short and long-term solutions for over-taxed power grids and ageing delivery systems. This may help to alleviate Eskom's problem of reliability for the time being, but with the ever-growing number of electrical and electronic devices being used in business and the ever-increasing consumption of electricity, you can already identify that the electrical systems of our country will be pushed to the limit in the foreseeable future.

What can be done to alleviate the problem? Become more energy efficient and lower your electricity bills by using your power more efficiently and protect your sensitive electrical and electronic equipment from potential damage caused by the questionable quality of our power supply. Every flicker, every surge too small to see with the naked eye, has an impact on your electrical and electronic devices. Whether you are in a hospital, data centre, office building, manufacturing plant or machine shop, your equipment's life expectancy is reduced with every power quality event that occurs.

In addition, major power events will often result in machinery shutdown and significant loss of production incurred by the end user. Poor quality can cause a deluge of real costs associated with constant maintenance, decreased product quality, increased scrap or production loss and equipment repair and replacement.

Alpha Power Solutions, in partnership with Comar Benelux, is a company that has over 17 years of experience in the field of power factor correction and harmonics filtration in Europe and Southern Africa.

The supply, installation and servicing of power factor correction and harmonics filtration equipment being our core business, we combine innovation, technology, expertise and superior quality, to offer tailor-made solutions and endeavour to create long term and mutually beneficial relationships with our costumers.

Power Factor Correction
	Power factor correction can lower your electricity bills starting on the day the equipment is commissioned. We minimise downtime incurred as a result of the installation of our equipment, through careful planning and consultation with our customers. Click here to read more »
Harmonic Filtration
	Electronically controlled equipment can be a major contributor to harmonics found in your electrical system. The more electronic devices you have on your electrical system, the more they can affect all the equipment within the systems. The nature of such electronics causes extremely quick pulses, creating a sine wave that becomes non-linear in shape. Click here to read more »
Fixed Capacitors
	The fixed capacitors supplied by Alpha Power Solutions are designed for performance and longevity. The rated voltage is hereby of utmost importance. It is our goal to provide you with all the necessary information to assist you with the selection of power factor correction equipment which will suite your current and future requirements.

PFC Controllers
	Intelligent controller – our units track the number of times each capacitor bank is switched as well as the total duration each capacitor bank has been energized. This information is used to determine which bank will be energized or de- energized and this results in an even wear of the complete power factor correction installation. Click here to read more »
