CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOLUTION. GET THE FULL PICTURE.

Power quality issues hide in the parts of the spectrum your meter can’ t reach. Harmonics build quietly. Transients strike in millionths of a second. Equipment fails without warning.
If your meter stops at the 50th harmonic, your visibility stops before the real problems begin.
But today, even measuring up to G5 / 5’ s 5 kHz limit isn’ t always enough.
As more modern electronic hardware enters plants and public networks, supra-harmonics in the 2 – 9 kHz and 9 – 150 kHz range are becoming a major source of disruption. Standards such as EN 61000-2-2( public networks) and EN 61000-2-4( industrial networks) recognise this issue— and many sites now require visibility all the way to 170 kHz to detect noise that interferes with communications, disrupts sensitive equipment and reduces overall equipment effectiveness and plant uptime.
CP Automation can help you choose the right meter— fixed or portable— so you never operate blind.

MEASURE. ANALYSE. REPORT. SOLVE.

Accurate measurement is only the beginning. With the right meter and the right support, you can move from detection to complete power quality protection.
CP Automation offers a full portfolio of mitigation technologies, including:
SineTamer ® transient frequency attenuation devices
Engineered to suppress the damaging, ultra-fast events most meters barely catch.
Active and passive harmonic filters from Comsys and REVCON
Reducing distortion, stabilising voltage and protecting your equipment.
Power factor correction solutions
From traditional capacitor banks and thyristor-switched systems to modern SVG and e-SVG technologies, with SVG / e-SVG providing advanced, anti-resonant compensation.
Resonance and voltage-regulation technologies
Supporting sites affected by voltage dips and sags, ensuring stable operation.
Site-wide engineering support
Ensuring the issue is not just identified but eliminated, and that you’ re protected from future events.
With accurate data and proven mitigation technology, problems stop being recurring mysteries and start being permanently solved.
