The Simplicity of Installing Metal-Enclosed Harmonic Filter Systems Watch for yourself the ease and simplicity of installing a NEPSI medium-voltage, metal-enclosed, C-HP (C-High-Pass) harmonic filter. These systems, which are designed and applied across many industries (including mining concentrate plants, chemical, renewables, general industrial, oil and gas processing, and more), install in less time, require a fraction of the foot-print, and come fully integrated, tested, and ready for interconnection.
The Need for RC-Snubbers This video shows a flashover event recorded by one of our customers during startup testing of a large motor that was coupled to a step-down transformer by a short length of cable. The corrective action to preventing high TRV, RRRV, breaker re-ignition, and potential flashover is to install an RC-Snubber between the vacuum breaker and the transformer.
Arc Flash Hazard Mitigation NEPSI showcases ABB’s ultra-fast earthing switch (UFES) in its medium voltage metal-enclosed harmonic filter banks. The ABB UFES switch is just one of many ways that NEPSI mitigates arc flash hazards and associated equipment damage from internal arcing faults.
Transient Free Switching Technology A General overview and description of NEPSI's implementation of the ABB’s DS1 transient free switching technology, its operating principles and advantages when compared to alternate technologies.

DESCRIPTION

Common Myths About Medium Voltage Metal-Enclosed Capacitor and Harmonic Filter Banks There is a lot of misinformation surrounding the design and application of medium voltage metal-enclosed capacitor banks and harmonic filter banks. This webinar, given by Paul Steciuk at NEPSI, will discuss various misconceptions from cost to design to application and operation. Join NEPSI, a leading supplier of metal-enclosed reactive power solutions in this EasyPower Webinar and blow away the myths.
Harmonics Part I: Using Harmonic Analysis Software This session, taught by Paul B. Steciuk of NEPSI, will show how harmonic analysis tools such as EasyPower are indispensable tools that aid engineers with the evaluation and mitigation of harmonics on industrial and utility power systems.
Harmonics Part II: Harmonic Filter Design This session, taught by Paul B. Steciuk of NEPSI, dives into key concepts in the design, construction, application and modeling of medium-voltage (2.4kV – 38kV) harmonic filters commonly used in mining, oil/gas, chemical, industrial, and renewable power systems.
