White Papers

Over the past year, technology advances and high energy prices have stimulated interest in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). Discussions are wide-ranging. Some focus globally: Australian and Canadian “smart metering”, new European Union requirements, the results of time-of-use pilots that arose in the wake of California’s deregulation debacle.

Read this whitepaper to learn about a variety of security strategies that can be implemented today and how they will enable you to respond to evolving security requirements

United States: S&C Electric Purchases Adaptive VAR Compensator Product Line From Trench

Sep 1, 2002 12:00 PM

S&C Electric Co. (Chicago, Illinois) purchased the Adaptive VAR Compensator product line from Trench Limited of Canada. This addition, to be marketed as the PureWave AVC^™ Adaptive VAR Compensator, further enhances S&C's position in power-quality solutions.

The PureWave AVC is a distribution-class static VAR compensator that uses power-electronic switching to provide variable amounts of reactive compensation on a cycle-by-cycle basis. The PureWave AVC continuously monitors load conditions and matches its output to the requirement of the load, providing real-time VAR compensation. Typical applications for this device include voltage-support, voltage-flicker, and power-factor correction for dynamically varying industrial loads, such as welding operations and large motor drives.

The PureWave AVC Adaptive VAR Compensator is the newest member of S&C's PureWave^® family of power-electronic switching systems, which includes the PureWave^® Source-Transfer System, PureWave UPS^™ System, PureWave DVR^™ Dynamic Voltage Restorer, and PureWave DSTATCOM^® Distribution Static Compensator.
