Frequently asked questions

Answer:

Poor Power Quality often leads to transformer overheating, unexplained PLC failures and premature failure of capacitor banks. This directly results in unplanned downtime and safety risks.

Answer:

Costs depend on the complexity and size of your installation. However, the cost of one hour of production downtime is often many times higher than the investment in a survey. Speak to an engineer for a tailor-made estimate.

Answer:

Yes, we can use measurements to reveal where energy losses (such as reactive current) occur. By optimising these, you often create extra space on the connection, which can be a solution in case of congestion.

Answer:

Yes, they cause additional heat generation in cables and transformers, which can pose a fire hazard.

Answer:

No, in many cases contamination such as harmonics are caused by proprietary equipment within the plant, such as variable speed drives. We analyse where the source is.

Answer:

If your installation has many inductive loads (motors) without compensation, you will see a post for 'blind consumption' in kVArh. HyTEPS will help you eliminate this through active or passive compensation systems.

Answer:

We understand that downtime costs money. For urgent matters, we try to respond as quickly as possible, often within 24 to 48 hours. For less urgent analyses, we plan in consultation.

Answer:

Our engineers analyse the installation using measurements, simulations and modelling to target the cause.

Answer:

Our reports are clear, Dutch-language (or English) and independent. They include a management summary for and an in-depth technical analysis for you and your customer.

Answer:

Yes, harmonics can cause cables and transformers to overheat, posing a fire hazard. They can also cause protective devices to trigger unintentionally, leading to acute and dangerous machine failure.

Answer:

Yes, absolutely. Our measurements are non-intrusive. We place equipment while your processes continue as usual. Instead, we need a representative load to make a correct analysis.

Answer:

Our focus is on Power Quality and the quality of voltage and current (NEN-EN 50160). However, Power Quality is an essential part of a safe installation. We can supplement your inspection report with in-depth measurements that go beyond the standard NEN 3140 scope.

Answer:

Yes. If our analysis shows that harmonic filters or capacitor banks are needed, we can dimension, supply and commission them (together with you). You can buy this hardware from us and install it yourself, or let us supervise this.

Answer:

We can establish this by an official measurement in which we test the voltage quality against the legal frameworks. We report on this in accordance with international standards.

Answer:

The cos phi concerns only the phase shift of the ground wave, while the power factor includes the influence of harmonics. We analyse both values to determine the overall efficiency of your installation.

Answer:

We do not simply repair a defect; we improve the entire quality to prevent future problems.

Soon the problem was addressed and now the clock has been operating without any problems for years.

Ton Baltus Manager installation managers Full story

Thanks to HyTEPS, I have continuous insight into the status of filters and the quality of the mains voltage

Eric de Borst Building coordinator Service Core Safety, Technology & Property Amphia Full story

In the report, HyTEPS recommended compensating harmonic currents to us through Active Harmonic Filters because of the varying load. Connecting these to the medium voltage addresses the pollution at source.

Nico Hendrix Sr. Project Engineer E&I Full story

After several discussions and specialised measurement, three capacitor banks supplied by HyTEPS were installed at Xella on the advice of HyTEPS. These have now been in operation for six months and we can already conclude that the reactive power in the grid has virtually disappeared.
