Increase Energy Efficiency With EMC Filters
The trend to achieve increased energy efficiency is driving the need and demand for energy efficient drive systems. Power quality solutions like EMC filters, reduces the transfer of electromagnetic noise between the drive and mains power supply, and will therefore prevent undue degradation in performance. This will in turn reduce the power consumption, cut operating cost […]

The Importance of High Quality Test Equipment
Test equipment is an essential tool used in most industries. Electronic test equipment is used to create signals and capture responses from electronic Devices Under Test (DUTs), to ensure the DUT is working properly and possible faults can be detected. The use of test equipment helps maintaining the proper function and efficiency of equipment and […]

Harmonics will cost you money unless you plan for them
By Sandeep Patel The results of not assessing loads correctly can be very costly to the contractor required to bear the cost for correcting the harmonics contribution, generally to comply with AS/NZS point of common coupling (pcc) harmonic voltage distortion limits. Contractors involved with commercial installations have to deal with the harmonics contribution of mechanical […]
Adaptive-Passive Harmonics Filters by Westek Electronics
MTE’s unparalleled “adaptive passive technology” makes the Matrix AP Harmonic Filter the most advanced harmonic filter on the market. No other harmonic filter exhibits active filter characteristics in a passive filter topology with improved power factor and energy efficiency. With the adaptive passive technology, the AP Filter allows users to achieve efficient and superior attenuation of harmonics from light […]
TSi AC Voltage Regulators
Where should TSi voltage regulators be used? Soft supply–problematic tap changing in distribution transformers The TSi voltage regulators should be used in areas of soft (high impedance) supply systems and also in areas where distribution transformer tap changers cannot keep up with the voltage regulation due to peaking demand. Therefore the voltage regulators find application both in rural as […]
