The Multimatic HP20 IP55 power factor correction system from Ortea Next delivers high performance even in industrial environments characterised by dust, liquids, and challenging conditions, thanks to genuine IP55 protection and intelligent cooling with an air/air heat exchanger.
USE OF POWER FACTOR CORRECTION SYSTEMS IN INDUSTRIAL PLANTS AND SUSTAINABILITY
Power factor correction systems are essential for improving energy efficiency in industrial plants, reducing energy bills, and ensuring compliance with power quality standards. Ortea Next offers advanced solutions for every application context, even the most critical from an environmental perspective.
A concrete example is our Multimatic HP20 400V 300kvar 50Hz IP55, designed for indoor installation in particularly dirty or harsh environments, such as electrical rooms in dusty areas or production departments with liquids, conductive residues, or hydraulic systems.
REAL CHALLENGES IN POWER FACTOR CORRECTION FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
In many industrial sectors, the presence of conductive dust, oil, emulsions, or residues can compromise the reliability of electrical systems, causing downtime, anomalies, and unexpected costs. Harsh environments require power factor correction solutions designed to withstand these critical issues: not only to maintain power quality but also to safeguard the safety and efficiency of business processes.
MULTIMATIC HP20 IP55: IP55 PROTECTION AND INTELLIGENT COOLING
The unique feature of this equipment is not just the IP55 degree of protection, which shields the cabinet’s interior from dust and water jets, but above all the technical choice to use an air/air heat exchanger instead of traditional fans.
Unlike fans, even those certified IP55, that introduce outside air into the cabinet and risk contaminating internal components, the air/air heat exchanger keeps the internal environment isolated while cooling it without compromising cleanliness. This solution is ideal for departments where conductive residues are produced (such as an aluminum drawing plant) or where fluids are used in machinery operations.
It is a design choice that enhances the system’s long-term reliability, reduces the need for maintenance, and ensures the correct operation of power factor correction even in challenging environmental conditions.
ORTEA PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY
Multimatic HP20 operates in an automatic and modular way, always ensuring optimal control of the power factor and preventing penalties on energy bills. Ortea Next’s design values longevity, reduced maintenance, and customisation for every industrial plant.
It is a flexible, high-performance solution, designed for the most energy-intensive industrial plants and those sensitive to interruptions. The construction quality, Ortea Next’s experience, and the possibility of personalisation make Multimatic a valuable ally in intelligent energy management.
FAQS ABOUT POWER FACTOR CORRECTION SYSTEMS FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
