A Michigan Manufacturing Company had a Problem with downtime, caused by equipment malfunction. The study determined that Drives and Controls were faulting, due to Voltage imbalance (single phase sags). Download 2pg pdf. Action item: Phaseback VSGR was installed which solved the problems. Results: Efficiency, reliability, and safety remain significantly improved. Call for a demonstration Cy Cates cycates@cycates.com 832 647 4606 #Lightning #StopArcFlashDamage #StopLightni

The safest system possible, without ground fault concerns and the resulting Arc Flash events. The most efficient system possible, with reduced capacitive charge current leaked to ground, and better conditions for motors, drives, lighting, and electronics. The most stable system possible, with balanced voltages phase to ground, no single-phase sags or surges. This system will provide the best results for electrical apparatus longevity, health, and clean operation. **On 3 wire

Flash-Over events, on enclosed equipment cause faults & unexpected Electrical system downtime. 1pg pdf. With humans present, this is called Arc Flash & it kills. What causes a Flash-Over? is it human error? Wear & Tear on contacts/ springs/connections Humidity Dirt or contamination Insulation breakdown or deterioration Loose connection Excessive Heat Humans can enter equipment that is ready to Flash-Over. Something as simple as opening or closing a breaker, pulling a bus-duct

Arc Resistant Switch-gear – intended to have the Arc Flash energy escape back and upward, in an effort to save personnel. Fire resistant clothing – Intended to not sustain a flame. Fast acting relays and circuit breakers – intended to minimize the energy when the Arc Flash event occurs. Arc Flash Safety training – Intended to educate personnel so accidental Arc Flash events are minimized and actions required upon an event are clear. Remote, selective trip, or other options. A

click on the picture to download 2 page pdf Electric Utilities have offered 2 Transformer connections for many years, as a less expensive 3 phase service. Often these systems are limited to 150kVA—250kVA, & provide lower total owning cost, compared to 3 Transformer 3 phase transformer services. In many cases these systems work reliably well. In some cases, reliability is a problem. The DOWNTIME issues are usually caused by the type of load used by the customers, such as Elec

You don't see the fault in Ph/Ph view! This Coast Guard Study summary compares Delta & Wye Soures on the same Ship, with and without VSGR installed. This 5page 11x17" PDF also includes other case study Recorder information addressing Harmonics, which shows before & after VSGR was installed. Take a look, its a free download. VSGR (Voltage Stabilizing Ground Reference) replaces many other devices normally used to resolve Power Quality issues. Install VSGR first and save even

In a recent case study, 2 charts show Voltage events before and after VSGR (Voltage Stabilizing Ground Reference) was installed. It is useful to see these events applied to a CBEMA chart (Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers' Association. Today the concentration of electronic loads, give us an opportunity to solve Voltage problems and improve system efficiency. Electronic loads are sensitive to Voltage events and they cause many of them. Examples: LED & Florescent li

A guide to fundamental system improvement The purpose of this document is to introduce Phaseback VSGR (Voltage Stabilizing Ground Reference), while explaining how it fundamentally improves the electrical system, improving efficiency, correcting Power Quality issues, preventing damage & increasing uptime. Outline 1. Why is prevention so critical? It’s very cost effective. 2. 4 Common Power Problems Can Phaseback VSGR prevent these? Yes, many of them. a. Arc Flash Events an

1. Phaseback VSGR stabilizes Voltage Potential between each Phase & Ground, equalizing the Impedance on each phase. See before (Phaseback VSGR OFF) & after (ON) in above charts. 2. Note: Current takes the path of least resistance. Phase B will flashover to Phase A, with Phaseback VSGR OFF. 3. With Phaseback VSGR ON, notice Impedance values have been corrected, which removes the flashover path. This happens at the speed of Current flow, preventing the flashover & subsequent

A farm in Michigan was experiencing serious Voltage problems, which caused process downtime and Drive/Motor failures. Phaseback VSGR fixed the problems and they remain fixed today. The before and after information that follows was taken on the same day without and with Phaseback VSGR installed. Voltage imbalance was 12% and phase displacement distortion was 14°. This significant imbalance makes it impossible for electric motors, drives, and controls to function as designe

DOE Motor Systems Tip sheet #7 2pg pdf, talks about how correcting Voltage imbalance issues benefit the operation: Energy required to run the motor is reduced, which reduces the electric bill. Heat in the motor, is reduced. Life of the motor is improved. Reducing Voltage imbalance, reduces Current imbalance, which is 6 to 10 times more than that of Voltage. Phaseback VSGR provides many benefits, including: Phase/Ground Voltage Balancing continuously at the speed of current fl

This information covers HARMONICS quite well Note: Phaseback VSGR family of solutions are not included in this collection as they provide a multi-dimensional solution to Harmonics, Arc Flash, Surges, & other Power related problems. The resistance of the copper windings in an ac induction motor is not immune to the inherent inefficiency of the motor because the energy conversion process—electric to mechanical—in a ac magnetic induction motor is a source of significant heat fro
