Process industries, such as food processing and foundries, require an uninterrupted flow of production for successful operation. This continuous mode of operation requires significant power, which places a heavy load on the energy grid.
The highly-advanced machinery and equipment used in process operations represents a significant capital investment. The sensitive nature of such machines makes them vulnerable to power disturbances and other related problems, including trips, unplanned stops, equipment failure, reduced equipment lifetime, and flicker.
Also, while energy consumption, and therefore cost, is a main concern for those in process industries, safety and sanitation is the highest priority. This is why it is crucial to have a reliable power quality solution to strengthen the electrical system overall and avoid unplanned stops—which is the scenario most likely to contribute to a safety or sanitation risk.
ADF can monitor and compensate electrical disturbances at very high speeds. It improves the plant’s overall energy network, minimizes stoppages, protects sensitive electronics as well as non-electronic equipment parts, and lowers electricity costs.
ADF makes it possible to compensate all power available in the grid. This enables secured network stability, even with demands from lighting, computers, etc.
ADF monitors and compensates imperfect power in the grid at lightning speed to prevent power surges and transients that can damage monitoring or control systems in automated plants. Thanks to this active and dynamic monitoring, production can continue smoothly.
Have you ever experienced a mechanical or operational problem that seemed to have no apparent cause? Poor power quality is often the cause. ADF technology eliminates and prevents “ghost” problems that are really due to unseen electrical problems in the grid (improving power quality).
This low harmonic solution minimizes the effect that the facility’s heavy energy load will have on the grid—thereby helping you avoid fines or other legal repercussions due to non-compliance with electrical standards, such as IEEE.
Sustained high power quality means more efficient, problem-free production. Due to its ability to reduce losses (heat energy) in the transformer, ADF helps you simultaneously conserve energy and lower your energy costs.
The ADF product range consists of versatile tools to address your unique power quality challenges in a way that is cost efficient. With unbeatable customization options and cutting edge capabilities, the range is specially designed to help you achieve all of your power quality goals:
Lower your energy costs
Optimize space
Reduce hassle
Strengthen productivity (avoid downtime)
Achieve compliance

After experiencing sudden unplanned production stops, and worried about the risk of increased total voltage harmonic distortion on production, UNILIN explored implementing a power quality solution.
Comsys became involved in their fourth particle accelerator project when Scandinova, who manufactures klystron modulators for particle accelerators and MRI scanning, approached us for the developing Max Lab IV site in Lund, Sweden.
