When Two Transformer Incomers Have Different Power Quality Problems.

Transformer 2 715 kVAr, 525 V RTPFC Panel + 200 A + 300 A Active Harmonic Filter Here, the significantly higher harmonic distortion called for additional harmonic mitigation alongside power factor correction. The solution was therefore not based on a standard configuration. It was based on what the measurements showed. Then We Measured Again After implementation, the electrical parameters were measured again to verify the improvement. Parameter Transformer 1 Transformer 2 Power Factor 0.85 → 0.99 0.77 → 0.99 Current 1432 A → 1221 A 1034 A → 800 A VTHD 2.5% → 1.9% 5.4% → 4.2% ATDD 7.2% → 5.9% 35.3% → 7.4% The most significant improvement was seen at Transformer 2. Its power factor improved from 0.77 to 0.99, while current harmonic distortion reduced from 35.3% to 7.4%. Across both transformer incomers, the case study reports that voltage and current harmonic distortion were brought within IEEE-519 limits after implementation. One Plant. Two Conditions. One Measurement Led Approach. This project shows why power quality correction cannot always be approached with a one size fits all configuration. The two transformer incomers were part of the same plant, but their electrical conditions were different. Clariant Power’s approach was simple: Measure the condition. Understand the requirement. Engineer the solution. Measure the result.
