Powerco Offers IEEE 519 Compliance Solutions

The recent increase in the enforcement of IEEE 519 compliance standards by utility companies in Western Canada has caused much confusion among design engineers and contractors.

The rules being applied by several utilities have been part of the connection contract for many years, however the proliferation of non-linear loads has caused a more stringent policing of end user distortion levels regarding harmonic emissions and compliance with Telephone Influence standards.

Powerco is pleased to offer our expertise in this area through distribution system modelling as well as the provision and commissioning of both passive and active harmonic mitigation systems.

With the Powerco experience and expertise in harmonic mitigation, we can assure your compliance to IEEE 519 and utility standards for new connection.

NEW UL1449 SPD Standards (2nd and 3rd Edition)

The primary safety standard for surge protective devices (SPD’s), also called transient voltage surge suppressors (TVSS) has undergone some major revisions in the past 3 years.

This document will describe the major differences between UL 1449 2nd Edition and UL 1449 3rd Edition. Compliance to this standard is mandated by September 2009.

Performance and Price Considerations for Harmonic Filtering Solutions

Problems associated with harmonic distortion are well understood for many power system applications. However, finding the right solution is challenging.

There are at least ten different technologies to choose from, each with specific technical and economic advantages. This paper will provide recommendations for reducing harmonic distortion, improving system capacity and improving system reliability while evaluating economic considerations.
