PFC3000 Series
Power Factor Correction Module

World class high voltage power factor correction module, designed to mate with Automotion's torque mode servo-amplifiers.

Product Features & Benefits of the PFC3000 Series Power Factor Correction Module.
Today's AC line operated servo-amplifiers employ full wave rectification with capacitor input filtering for motor rail power. They draw current in short, high amplitude bursts near the peak of the line voltage sinusoid.  This can result in cost penalties, especially at higher power.  Excessive peak current flow may be imposed on the AC line service leading to limits on the power available and requiring costly increases in the AC service capability (assuming this is even practical).

Power factor correction (PFC) is required in any motion control application demanding optimum utilization of available line currents and/or minimum line current distortion. An Automotion PFC3000 ,power factor correction module, can give the system more power without increasing line capacity and offers reliable operation while reducing peak AC current input needs.

More Benefits
The Automotion power factor correction module module attenuates AC line harmonics induced by switching power amplifiers and prevents overloading of neutral conductors and transformers. Compliance with the latest regulatory requirements such as EN61000-3-2, the new international standard that limits high amplitude harmonics in power delivery systems, is assured as well.
