The PowerKure Approach

PowerKure is a custom engineered solution designed. Our approach to power quality is based on the following activities.

Initial Electrical System Survey: During the electrical systems audit, we collect electrical power quality information from the customer's facility. We will gather information about voltage, current, harmonics, power factor, power usage, etc.

Proposal: The audit information will provide us with enough information to determine which loads need to be treated, and if reated, the quantity and cost of the components needed to treat the load. The proposal will also include guaranteed electrical savings after installation.

Link Analysis: The link analysis is a more detailed version of the original audit. At the link analysis we will check the original measurements and any possible variations thereof; identify a more economical or effective method to address the problem(s) and savings; determine the location at the site where the PowerKure system will be connected and determine breakers/disconnects, cables, and conduit sizes, for installation.

Design: The actual design of the PowerKure system can only begin after a link analysis has been performed. This is similar to a load flow. Measurements are taken on the secondary load side of the main transformer on the common buss as well as each subsequent feeder downstream of the main distribution. This will allow us to design the optimal placement of the required components, placing some components closer to the individual problem loads.

Installation: PowerKure's authorized licensed electrician will then install the required switchgear, breakers, disconnects, cables, etc. PowerKure will then assist the electrician with the placement of the actual PowerKure unit. Once installed, PowerKure will then measure the load and tune the PowerKure equipment for optimal performance.
