PowerKure consists of LRC tank circuits and zig-zag reactors allowing it to capture and re-cycle losses across all three phases. PowerKure is not a traditional capacitor bank nor is it an SCR or choke of any kind. We are designed in parallel as the lowest point of z% (impedance).

Balance Voltage Across All Three Phases: PowerKure can stabilize voltage across all three phases using a combination of LRC tank circuits, phase shifting reactors and custom variable tap transformers. Balancing voltage across all three phases reduces heat and electrical losses. NEMA has a 5% limit on imbalanced phase voltages but even a 3% voltage imbalance will generate 18% more heat and heat will generate electrical losses.

Decrease Fluctuations: PowerKure can improve voltage within each phase and minimize fluctuations and allow motors to run more efficiently. Additionally, PowerKure has the ability to raise voltage by using LRC tank circuits and zigzag reactors to release KVA capacity and lines losses. Computers engage stages as needed to maintain voltages.

Balance Current Across All Three Phases: PowerKure balances the load over three phases and mitigates phase currents, thus reducing negative sequences and circulating currents. It uses reactive passive components to help reduce three phase imbalances by releasing KVA capacity and line losses close to the load. By improving voltage imbalances, current balancing can naturally occur.

Improve Power Factor: PowerKure can optimize power factor between .95 and .99 with out capacitor banks and their associated side effects. PowerKure will monitor power factor and add capacitance, as needed, to maintain it at a pre-defined level.

Mitigate Broadband Harmonics and Recycle Losses: PowerKure mitigates broadband harmonics or electrical frequencies above 60Hz. PowerKure does this by first tuning and then de-tuning the harmonic. It uses multiple filters to capture the harmonics and then re-cycle the losses through the tank circuit. If harmonics are found to be extremely high, additional components will be used to reduce distortion at the targeted spectrum. This reduces electrical losses and improves equipment longevity and performance.

Mitigate Surges, Transients and Impulses: PowerKure captures minor surges and transients, and then re-cycle the losses through the tank circuit. Impulses are clipped and sent to ground reducing the chance of equipment damage. Additional TVSS can be added for higher levels of protection.

Brownout Protection: PowerKure maintains and increases voltage during temporary brownouts, reducing equipment shut downs. This is an optional feature that can be incorporated into the PowerKure system.

Brownout Protection: PowerKure supplies continuous voltage during intermittent supply failure of short durations, generally 0.5 seconds or less. This is an optional feature that can be incorporated into the PowerKure system.
