High frequency disturbances are caused by the sparks generated in the AC commutator motors, the “corona effect” on the high voltage lines, the igniters of luminous signs and burners, and by the magnetic fields irradiated by radio and TV stations.

The Power Pilot power integrator has been specifically designed for use in hydroelectric plants with off-grid installations.

The voltage and current harmonics superimposed on the fundamental have combined effects on the equipment and devices connected to the electrical network. Some non-linear loads determine a harmonic content distributed over a very wide spectrum, therefore variable both in the harmonic order and in the intensity.

The harmonics in electrical systems are electrical currents or sinusoidal electrical voltages that have a frequency equal to an integer multiple of the frequency of the distribution system, called the fundamental frequency. By overlapping the Fundamental Current and the Fundamental Voltage respectively, they cause the distortion of the waveform.

Voltage imbalances are one of the most common Power Quality problems in three-phase electrical networks. Being often overlooked, they can cause serious damage to electrical and electronic equipment.

One of the main factors to consider when choosing the right power supply for Xenon lamps is residual ripple, a phenomenon known in electronics and electrical engineering as “Ripple”. A low percentage of Ripple is synonymous with high quality DC power supply.
