Case Study – Client Details
The backup Diesel Generator started hunting whenever the load current
demand went beyond 200A.
The client wasn’t able to carry out production in full capacity using the
backup generator
P2 Power Solutions audited the site and found the current harmonic
distortions to be significantly higher than recommended limits
The power factor was also low due to which the peak apparent current
demand on the DG was high
We recommended the installation of a P2 Power Active filter for harmonic
mitigation and power factor correction

Post Installation Condition
P2 Power’s Active Filter reduced the peak kVA demand on the DG by
improving the Power Factor without any risk of over compensation
It reduced current harmonic distortions to 12%
The client was able to run the press at full capacity on DG with our solution
