Power Control Company Product Descriptions
Contained here is a full product disclosure of Power Control Company materials. It is described sufficient to search for similar products which may be protected under U.S. patent protection. These descriptions are also made sufficient for submittal to the U.S. Patent Office for consideration to list these products for protection under U.S. Patent regulations.
1. The Power Factor system is an intelligent capacitor switching device that calls for tuned stages with three phase delta loaded capacitors with internal resistive discharge. The tuned circuit contains a heavy tuned reactor which is also a zigzag transformer. The switching system is a full range computer which monitors the cosine theta slope between apparent and real power. This system also monitors and reads out in digital form, voltage, current, power, primary frequency, power consumed, and offset power in VARS. This system is primarily for 400 to 700 volt operations pulling down between 200 to 2,000 Amperes per phase in any three phase panel. The PCC system is a voltage stable enforcer while accurately keeping up with changing power factor, recognizing that it can change from minute to minute and engage all or none of the stages which corrects induction induced current lag.
2. The PCC Active Harmonic Filter is an intelligent system which monitors all harmonics from the 60 Hz prime frequency to 100,000 Hz. It is a fourteen section heavy electronic device which identifies all frequencies in that range and opposes that frequency with an equal and opposite signal to kill the distortion and return it to zero voltage and zero amperage. The speed of which this broadband filter reacts is 71 nanoseconds and can correct between 5 to 160 Amps of harmonic distortion. The system is stackable and interreactive with all of our other systems and will accept commands from the controller running our primary Power Factor System.
3. PCC makes and has designed two zigzag transformers that are also part of a tuned three phase harmonic filter and is rated at 100 Amps. It is designed not to core saturate and will not resonate under load. It is designed only to operate with PCC designed and built power capacitors.
4. PCC contactors are designed only for the power capacitor industry. They are all rated at 170 Amps and contain contact points which are heavy titanium and operate at a resistance exceeding 30 ohms. The internal design contains an arc chute for voltage dispersion and includes six tuned inductance coils which are activated between the connections .072 seconds prior to main power contact. This system dissipates 83% of the damaging inrush and outspike current and voltage changes that occur during engage and disengage action.
5. PCC six and twelve stage switching intelligent controllers are in fact computers which monitor and correct all aspects of Power Factor Error up to working current not to exceed 5,000 Amps. This controller monitors box temperature and will engage or turn off cooling fans, capacitor compliance, stage balance, and most power functions for face readout or digital remote monitor. The controller will read each stage and will constantly check the compliance of each stage as they are used. Even the total number of contacts made and broken are recorded to create an intelligent use log for the internal equipment maintenance diagnosis.
6. PCC power capacitors are tuned, three phase, delta loaded and liquid filled with internal discharge resistors. They are polypropylene insulated and sealed in a steel case and vegetable oil filled. They are uniquely tuned to operate only with our own three phase reactor transformers and none other.
7. We have made for us a passive set of harmonic filters. There are six of them. Each one will handle a broad bandwidth of harmonic distortion. As they are passive, they are limited as to scope. Where our active filter will follow and destroy several bandwidths of distortion, each passive filter will only eliminate about 10% of the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) As these filters are only a fraction of the cost of an active device, they can be used in limited needs for a limited cost.
8. A not until affordable product is our plastic electric box. We have designed a exothermal plastic box to replace our steel version. This box is not only impervious to rust, but also to paint removers and other corrosive chemicals. Our marketing test reveals multiple needs for such an enclosure. The specifications of the chemical and military industry call for this as a stand alone item. Most interesting of all is that regardless of the need, along the way this enclosure is less than a third of the cost of its’ inferior steel predecessor. Safety, weight benefits, cost and survivability make this a big money maker for us. Our only hold up is the cost of mold tooling and product expense before delivery. It is our plan to make this plastic box our standard in the future.
9. On the drawing board but not yet made because of development costs, we have worked out the problem of zero crossing in all three phases when engaging any three phase system which includes our capacitor stages. Like everything else we need time and funding to bring this switch into reality. When done, it will be the first and only three phase zero voltage switch ever to be made. The market for such a switch is endless and beyond just engaging capacitors. The entire three phase industry will save endless losses from the pitting and damage which follows most three phase switchers. We already switch one of the three phases when the sinewave is at zero on one leg, but the ability to switch the other two has never been done before.
Other Product Descriptions
Along with our own unique products just described, there are other devices which are mentioned under the heading Power Control Company Products, but not described in the Product Descriptions list.
NPAF -50 and NPAF- 100 Active filters are actually stacked PCAF – 25s. We combine them with a common power supply to make the ‘25’ into any designation that may be needed. Whole building systems therefore become combinations and mixes of enough basic ‘25’s to meet need.
The NPP -2000 HF trap is made for us and is slightly bigger and will handle higher frequencies than the NPP – 2500. Both come with rated MOV’s for lightning and heavy surge suppression when it is called for.
Not mentioned is our MOV system. We import a large range of extreme shock power MOVs and compile them into a designation which may be needed by the building under control. As the parts are off the shelf, we do not list them as unique to our products. However, the way we integrate them into our systems is not common so is mentioned as an option when clients need that kind of protection.
The NPP – 2215 Telephone noise suppressor is similar to the NPP -2500 but adapted to the 48 volt system which most telephone line operate under. With a different number, we need to know the voltage being controlled to make sure the device will operate efficiently.
The NPP – 2700 operates passively at the ultra high range. Combination of several of these broadband harmonic filters can be combined to cover most of the Harmonic frequencies but when this is needed, we advise that an intelligent system such as our Active Filter is more efficient. Passive systems are limited only to 10% reduction and cannot follow random harmonics without monitoring and activation to keep Harmonics which may exceed 10% and are across the spectrum.
The RT -1U Security Server Command Center is made for us by other suppliers and can be bought elsewhere. However, few know how to integrate and bring this system into play efficiently. Because of it’s unique properties, we offer this as an add on with our systems.
SM – 4000 is also made for us. We do not intend to ever make this on our own. However, when the need for such a reader came up, we did participate in what became this meter along with graduate students at Weber State University and a manufacturer already making something close to what we needed. Because it is not common, we do list this reader for our clients and will tell them where to buy it directly if they wish. Same information with the HM – 4200.
