Modern industry demands top performance from your electrical installation. Automation, robotics and variable speed drives increase efficiency but stress power quality (Power Quality) like never before. The result? Unexplained failures, accelerated asset obsolescence and costly production stops.
HyTEPS guarantees the quality of voltage and power in your processes. We measure, analyse and optimise your power distribution. So that you focus on production, and we focus on continuity.
The industrial environment is changing rapidly. Where heavy, linear loads used to be the norm, your installation is now dominated by power electronics. LED lighting, variable frequency drives (VFDs), UPS systems and solar panels are essential for sustainability and process optimisation.
However, these technologies have a downside. They pollute the sine wave form of the voltage while being extremely sensitive to that same pollution. This creates a vicious circle within your electrical installation.
Poor Power Quality is rarely immediately visible, but the financial impact is. Consider:
At HyTEPS, we understand that your installation is the lifeblood of your business. Our approach is therefore not focused on selling a component, but on securing your OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
1. Unexplained PLC failure
Control systems spontaneously reset or give error messages with no obvious mechanical cause. This is often dismissed as a 'software glitch', while voltage dips or high-frequency noise are the real culprits.
2. Overheating of transformers and cables
Your infrastructure gets hotter than is logical based on the active load. This often indicates harmonic currents causing additional 'skin effect' and copper losses, with fire hazard as the ultimate consequence.
3. Defective capacitor banks
Capacitors for reactive current compensation that frequently fail or even explode. This indicates resonance in the installation, with the capacitor bank inadvertently amplifying harmonic currents instead of attenuating them.
4. Flickering lighting and screen failures
Annoying variations in light intensity(flicker) or streaks on HMI screens. These are visual indicators of rapid voltage variations that also cause invisible damage to sensitive sensors.
5. Frequently failing drives
Drives that fail or circuit boards that burn out. AC drives are both the biggest culprit and the biggest victim of poor power quality.
6. Problems when switching to emergency power
Generators not running stably or UPS systems not accepting the load. Often caused by high harmonic distortion or poor power factor disturbing generator control.
Blindly fitting filters or capacitors is like prescribing medication without diagnosis. HyTEPS uses a rigorous, data-driven methodology to identify the source of your problems and eliminate them once and for all.
Everything starts with insight. Our specialists place high-end Power Quality analysers at strategic points in your installation. We measure in accordance with EN50160 and IEC61000 standards, but look beyond the standard. We record waveforms, transients and harmonics down to the highest frequencies.
Data is nothing without interpretation. In our expertise centre, engineers analyse measurement results. Where necessary, we use advanced simulation software (such as Load Flow and harmonic analyses) to predict the impact of future expansions or solutions. You receive clear reports in understandable language, not just graphs.
Based on the facts, we select the right solution. This is brand-independent and technically superior.
Hybrid compensation: For cos-phi optimisation and transformer relief.
Active Harmonic Filters: for the dynamic elimination of harmonic contamination.
Voltage stabilisation: To handle dips and spikes for critical processes.
An installation is alive; loads are constantly changing. With permanent monitoring, you keep your finger on the pulse 24/7. You prevent dormant problems from leading to another failure. If you wish, we can join you as an external specialist.
