Elevators

Customer challenges
with elevators

The need for reactive power compensation may change rapidly during a complete operational cycle of fast fluctuating loads such as elevators and escalators, but conventional reactive power compensation technologies may respond too slowly. Therefore, industrial plants operating with fast fluctuating loads may face voltage variations, flicker, and load unbalancing issues. Voltage variations and flicker can even disturb other facilities connected to the same bus bar. Frequent voltage variations affect productivity and product quality, and machine breakdown risk will increase.
