SineWave is the first 2nd generation active harmonics conditioner. We have unique experience in this field backed by a powerful, international development programme and the experience gained from the 1st generation conditioners launched in 1994. For installations from 10 to 2000 kVA, SineWave gives you the tomorrow's performance - today!

Impressive harmonic attenuation
Using state-of-the-art technologies, SineWave reduces harmonic currents by a factor of 10 which, depending on the type of loads, can rise to a factor of 20. Compensation covers 2nd to 25th order harmonics allowing a wide regulation span to cover every type of load. Additionally, you can choose between two operating modes:
> Global compensation,
> Pre-selected order of compensation


Improvements to cosine phi

SineWave also improves cosine phi and the power factor and saves on energy costs.

Easy installation
Specific architecture and carefully selected mechanical components make the SineWave an industry reference for integration. These units are extremely compact. For example, the 30 A unit only requires a space of 94 dm3. This means you can install SineWave units on walls, in switchboards and in panelboards.
SineWave units are compatible with every 3-phase power network and automatically handle single and three phase loads, data processing equipment, fluorescent lighting, variable speed drives, etc. To enhance compensation at a given point in the installation they can be connected in parallel. Up to four SineWave active conditioners can be installed in parallel or mounted in series if your system changes.

Unrivalled operator-friendliness.
Located on the front panel of the SineWave unit the man/machine interface (MMI) is written in seven standard languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and American). It provides :
> Assistance with commissioning and maintenance,
> Parameter control (display language, harmonic compensation type),
> Operation (reports, audits, alarms and controls).
The detachable Man/Machine Interface has a 3 metre lead to enable, for example, installation on the front panel of the SineWave unit housing.
 
Additionally, dry contacts and optional RS 485 serial connections are available for remote control.

Exceptional operating reliability, safety and security
SineWave units use thoroughly tested circuit layouts and state-of-the-art technologies such as fast IGBT transistors and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) components. This design totally protects the unit from overloads. If the demand for harmonic compensation exceeds its rated capacity, conditioning continues up to the maximum limit. By reducing effective current consumption, SineWave units eliminate risks of power failures and cable heating. In this way they contribute to improving operating safety and security.

All categories Savings Champion, The ideal rating at the lowest price
SineWave units are extremely flexible and there is no need to buy oversized unit. You can always add on to your SineWave solution to cover future requirements. This means unbeatable economic solutions for the extraordinary benefits they offer.


Extended equipment life

The reduction in effective current by SineWave units prolongs equipment service life by up to 30%.


No expensive surprises
Once your current is cleaned up you are protected from surprises such as malfunctions in critical applications and fines from utility operators for not respecting standards. SineWave units contribute to service continuity too.


Lower electricity bills
Reducing harmonics also reduces kVA consumption. This means you can probably down-scale your utility contract. By improving the cosine phi, you also reduce absorbed kVA and avoid penalties from power suppliers due to excessively low cosine phi factors. Return on investment is rapid and in some cases pay-back can be within two years.
