Highly interconnected Transformer and line impedances between generators and loads Terminal voltage drops with load current System faults cause significant voltage sags (dips) Most wiring is overhead Susceptible to lightning, animals, wind-blown tree branches, etc. Source: NPR: Power Hungry: Reinventing The U.S. Electric Grid May 1, 2009 Insulation fails, equipment fails Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc.

Importance of Power Quality to Industrial Users Power Quality Events & Voltage Sags Voltage Sag Protection Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved. 7 Electrical Equipment Designed Assuming Power Quality Operate with input ac voltage variation of 10% Possible new requirements: Operate through some voltage sags SEMI F47 IEC Present a ‘unity’ Power Factor: Current phase angle near zero Current harmonic distortion low Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved. 8 Impact of Power Quality Events Possible Agency, Utility, or Facility Requirements Power Factor correction (current phase angle) Harmonic current limits Load equipment mis-operation Voltage sags and momentary interruptions Voltage distortion (harmonics, notching) Voltage imbalance or single-phasing High-frequency voltage transients Load equipment damage High-voltage transients Current inrush following voltage sag Facility infrastructure damage High-voltage transients Current inrush following voltage sag Overheating due to current harmonics Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved. 9 Consumer is Responsible for Power Quality Utility cannot provide perfect power quality and are not required to. (e.g., Wisconsin PSC 113.0703) Customers having equipment or operations that are sensitive to such voltage fluctuations … may find it necessary to install, at their own expense, power conditioning equipment or other modifications … Job is to “Keep the lights on.” Goals Deliver maximum energy through the existing infrastructure Maintain +/-10% (on average) voltage at service entrance Minimize outages longer than 2-5 minutes 60.00 Hz, when averaged over 24 hours Keep large industrial customers satisfied Minimize large customers disrupting neighbors’ power quality The utility is responsible for reliability, not quality of power….the customer is responsible for protecting their sensitive equipment at their own expense Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc.

IEEE P1668 – a new standard Recommended Practice for Voltage Sag and Interruption Ride-through Testing for End-use Electrical Equipment Less than 1,000 Volts A standard for the response of electrical equipment to voltage sags Expected to include: Guidance for evaluation of equipment sensitivity to voltage sags and interruptions Minimum performance criteria to specify during the purchasing process Levels of performance for acceptance of the product Voltage tolerance curves for three-phase equipment: more useful than CBEMA or ITIC Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved. Effect of Voltage Sags on Equipment Most common effect is equipment drops offline PLC shutdown Open contact or relay (As little as 80% remaining voltage for 1 Cycle) A secondary effect is that when voltage returns, high current inrush can occur because the Softcharge circuit is bypassed RF Amplifiers, Gradient Amplifiers, and Low Voltage Power Supplies subjected to repeated hits—Fail.

All rights reserved. 33 DySC Operation Normal Operation (Monitoring) • Static Switch ON, Highly efficient • Power electronics OFF • Capacitors charged & ready • No thermal cycling, long life • Low maintenance Voltage Sag Correction • 1-2 millisec. detection • Static switch OFF • Power Electronics ON, to produce corrected sinusoidal load voltage • Energy from capacitors needed only for sags below 50% Example: voltage sag to 60%, full load • We keep load voltage at 100%, so load power remains 100% • Input Current rises briefly to (100% / 60%) = 167% • Load energy comes from ac input, not from capacitors! V = 100% V = 60% V = 100% 167% (V = 40%) 100% LOAD 67% 167% 100% 100% patented • Static bypass 99.99% of the time • Corrects voltage by maintaining power flow (P = V x I) Most of the time the DySC® is in a monitoring mode Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc.
