ACTIVECOMP® Real-time Power Factor Correction (RTPFC) System is a State of the Art Real-Time Thyristor Switched Power Factor (P.F.) and Harmonic Filtration System.
It is a highly reliable system and our customers have been trusting its performance since the last 20 years. The ACTIVECOMP Real-time Power Factor Correction (RTPFC) System has been employed extensively in the industries like Automobile, Steel, Textile, Pharma, IT and many more with a very high success rate.
ACTIVECOMP Real-time Power Factor Correction (RTPFC) System has been designed for Power Factor Correction and Harmonic Filtration of fast dynamic/fluctuating loads in the industries. This system is available in balanced, unbalanced or hybrid configurations. ACTIVECOMP Balanced is suitable for networks with 3 phase balanced loads. ACTIVECOMP Unbalanced (UB) is suitable in he networks with high density of single phase loads such as robotic welding loads in the weld shops of the automobile plants. ACTIVECOMP Hybrid is suitable for networks having both balanced and unbalanced loads. Unbalanced Configuration compensates for either the phase-to-phase or the phase-to-neutral loads. ACTIVECOMP is available in standard configuration with detuning reactors of either 5.67%, 7%, 12.5% or 14%. It has a Dual PF Mode for correcting the power factor of the grid supply and the generator supply. For other specific tuning frequencies and harmonic mitigation ACTIVECOMP Tuned System is the recommended option for the networks having high harmonics.

ACTIVECOMP Thyristor Switching Module
The ACTIVECOMP Thyristor Module is characterized by a high switching speed that ensures the switching “ON” and “OFF” of the capacitors in real-time. Thyristor switching modules comprise of solid state switching elements, which provide reliable, high speed and transient free operation. Thyristor Switching Module have a very high peak inverse voltage (PIV) of 2200V AC, this makes them particularly resistant to the network transients. These modules have inbuilt high speed fans for better cooling with high temperature protection. With the selection of high rated devices and thermal design the performance of switching modules is much ahead of the switches available in the market.
Harmonic Block Reactor
Harmonic Filter Reactors are made out of high quality material and follow very stringent quality control. It has been designed with properties like low temperature rise and lower flux density so that it can operate in worst conditions of ambient and harmonic overloads (withstand very high THD-I and THD-V values). All our reactors are designed with single layer strip winding with proper air channels for low temperature rise.
Capacitor Banks
Super Heavy Cylindrical type DUCA Power series Capacitor Banks from M/s Ducati Energia s.p.a, Italy are installed as standard in all the ACTIVECOMP Systems. The capacitors have rated voltage of 525V or 690V as per the network voltage or the application.
