AFQevoActive Multi-Function Filter

Technology for energy efficiency


More than just a simple problemIn recent years, substantial growth in the number of electronic devices designed to equip our installations has resulted in significant changes in the types of loads connected to the power distribution system.

These devices are currently equipped with electronics that in one way or another increase task efficiency, production processes and the activities

All in all, these devices and units have definitely improved our quality of life; however, they also lead to greater contamination of our electric system and thus to high levels of harmonics.

we perform. Everyone uses computers for personal use or for processing and controlling production systems with variable speed drivers, air-conditioning units, lifts that slow down when approaching their destination floor, etc. These devices are equipped with rectifiers, modulators, etc., which distort the wave shape of the current to achieve their correct operation.

Auto-diagnosisAFQevo features an internal auto-diagnosis system that is activated during start-up, which shows the user whether the unit is operating correctly or there is a connection problem. The messages are shown automatically on its TFT touch-screen display, guaran-teeing that they are viewed immediately. This guar-antees the correct operation of the filter and prevents damage caused by an incorrect installation.

Auto-diagnosis of the unit every time it is started, guaranteeing correct operation.

ExpandableAFQevo enables parallel installation of up to 100 filters*. This option greatly increases installation flexibility in the event of future filtering needs due to load expansion or as a result of changes in consumption habits.

The capacity to operate in parallel allows the system to use redundancy strategies and achieve top performance of the units. Therefore, the units operate within their highest range of efficiency, resulting in the uniform wear of all of their components.

Description

The AFQevo parallel multifunction active filter is the most complete solution for solving

power quality problems related to industrial, commercial or service installations with

presence of harmonics, consumption of reactive power (usually capacitive) and also phase

unbalance. The AFQevo is meant for wall-mounting thanks to its small size to facilitate its

installation.

The features and functions implemented are:

— Filtering capacity of 30 A

— Reduced metallic enclosure for wall assembly. Its compact dimensions make

it easy to install.

— Range of filters for installations with 3 wires (3W model) or 4 wires (4W model)

— Multi-range voltage and dual frequency (50/60 Hz).

— Reduction of harmonic currents up to the 50th harmonic (2,500 Hz).

— Selection of harmonic frequencies to be filtered so to reach the filter’s highest

effectiveness.
