Schaffner EMC - Power Quality

Power Quality

Power Quality has become the buzzword of entire industries. While definitions diverge, nobody argues about its importance and the consequences of bad Power Quality. Often, electric utilities get in the line of fire of frustrated customers, no matter whether the reason is an untimely defrosted freezer or hours of production downtime. However, many disturbances – like electromagnetic interference or harmonics – are not attributable to the utility company, but to the user of electrical power and the nature of the connected equipment.

Unmatched solutions
Schaffner is uniquely able to support equipment manufacturers and users in the challenging quest for achieving better Power Quality. Our line-reactors and harmonics filters reduce harmonic currents drawn by 6-pulse rectifiers in motor drives and help to improve true power factor. Schaffner high frequency filters empower the designer to increase system immunity and to comply with international EMI standards. Drive-applied dv/dt and sine wave filters protect electric motors and reduce parasitic earth currents in ground-referred systems.

Long term benefits
Schaffner Power Quality solutions contribute to a clean power grid, help to conserve energy, support long term cost savings, and increase system reliability and uptime. With the biggest selection of standard off-the-shelf products and unmatched custom design capabilities, Schaffner engineers are here to help achieve your individual Power Quality objectives.

Sophisticated custom magnetics
In 2006, Schaffner acquired Jacke Transformatoren GmbH, the leading specialist for custom transformers and reactors for demanding industries like railroad and wind power. With these additional capabilities, Schaffner is in the unique position to provide custom magnetics that can reliably operate for many years in rough environments (shock, vibration, humidity, extreme termperatures etc).
