CONVERTERS AND THE LOAD ON THE MAINS SUPPLY

ZUR STROMRICHTER-NETZBELASTUNG

When convertors are fed by the mains supply, the result can be decisive where certain applications are concerned. The effects of reactive power can be reduced or compensated and it is also possible to reduce the causes of reactive power by economical mountings, thereby minimising the repercussions on the mains. When current is single-phased, an effaceable convertor with a self-acting servo-system can be used; it is controlled by the mains. Problems still remaining in connection with measuring the power factor when a process is variable over a certain amount of time. The author mentions existing and planned installations.
