Industrial Power Quality Solutions

American Superconductor (AMSC) offers modular, cost-effective power quality solutions for a variety of industrial applications.   

AMSC SVC Solution

The AMSC SVC (Static VAR Compensator) solution eliminates voltage sags and flicker, giving electric utilities and large electricity users the most cost-effective way to connect large loads to circuits. These Mobile Distribution Assets are highly portable, modular, and can be field-modified, reducing the costs normally associated with upgrades.  We routinely solve problems caused by starting large motors, metal shredders and crushers, operating sawmills, pump or pipeline stations, shipyards, coal mines, feed plants or kindred processes.  We can also cure arc furnace flicker and stabilize transmission lines.

SVC Solution Attributes:

• More affordable than alternative solutions
• Static (solid state) valves can switch once per cycle – eliminating flicker
• ZVD switching eliminates ringing transients and re-strike
• High speed control system: integral sensing, actuating and system diagnostics
• No moving parts, operates as needed (> 100k operations/ day)
