Accusine® Power Correction System (PCS)

Class 5820

Harmonic Filtering:

The Accusine Power Correction System (PCS) actively injects current for harmonic filtering and power factor correction. Using reliable IGBT technology, Accusine PCS is able to cancel harmonics generated by non-linear (power-electronic) loads by injecting harmonic current of opposite polarity. Accusine installation will reduce harmonic levels for IEEE 519 compliance.

Harmonic filtering by Accusine PCS:
Decreases harmonic related overheating of cables, switchgear and transformers
Reduces downtime caused by nuisance thermal tripping of protective devices
Increases electrical network reliability and reduces operating costs
Corrects to the 50th harmonic
Compensates entire network or specific loads depending on installation point
Power Factor Correction and Dynamic VAR Compensation:

Accusine PCS features a sub-cycle response time allowing for dynamic VAR injection to reduce voltage sags created by inductive load switching. In addition, Accusine PCS can inject peak current at two and a half times its rms current rating for one cycle. Accusine PCS can also operate in a dual mode where current is first injected to reduce hamonics and any excess current capacity is used to improve the power factor.

Other Features:
Independent phase compensation
UL and CSA approved
Parallel connection allows for easy retrofit and installation of multiple units for large networks
Response to load fluctuations begins in 40 microseconds with 8 milliseconds for full response to step load changes
50, 100 and 300 A models for 208–480 V. Other voltages available.
Accusine PCS Sizing

A harmonic study is not required to select the size of the Accusine PCS installation. This is because when Accusine PCS is installed it becomes a lower impedance path for harmonics than the existing power supply. For sizing, please contact the Square D Power Quality Correction Group at (905) 678-6699. To expedite the product selection process, please have a single line diagram and/or details of the application including sizes of transformers, non-linear and linear loads, and any existing filters and capacitors.

a Other voltages available. Contact your nearest Square D/Schneider Electric sales office. Multiple units can be connected in parallel. Specifications subject to change without notice.
b Two remote 400 Hz current transformers required for three phase loads. Three remote 400 Hz CTs required when single phase loads are present. Select 500, 1000, 3000, or 5000 A size, 5 A secondary.
c Dimensions and weights are approximate. Do not use for construction. For actual dimensions, contact your nearest Square D/Schneider Electric sales office.
d Open chassis models require a remote digital interface module for operation. Specify 3, 5 or 10 meter cable length. For cooling purposes, maximum losses at 480 V are 1.8, 3.0 and 8.0 kW for 50, 100 and 300 A models respectively.
e All units except 50/100 A, NEMA 1 and chassis models include door-interlocked disconnect. 600 V, 200 kA IC, Class T fuses standard.
Round Split-Core CT Selection

Three CTs required for networks with line-neutral loads. Two remote current transformers required for three phase loads. For installations requiring parallel connection of multiple Accusine for increased correction capacity, special considerations may be required. Contact the Square D Power Quality Correction Group for details.
