It is funny to us because here we provide more data and analytics that they could ever receive from their equipment, but still they are not convinced until they see it with their own eyes on their own instruments.I wonder why the voltage and current are so out of phase.
It looks like the current sensors and voltage sensors are mixed up between lines? And all of the current clamps are put on backwards?
Err, the whole point of a box doing power factor correction is to REDUCE the phase angle between the voltage and the current!
find you have neutral overload issues for example because of that whole floor of cheap ass PCs your accounts department put in.
3DFS think their load current balancing S/W has something to do with controlling the frequency of the grid.

It has everything to do with it. Controlling the frequency using rotating machines is the the only way when the power is not controlled and balanced in real time.
Controlling the frequency using rotating machines is the the only way when the power is not controlled and balanced in real time.To correct the unbalanced currents, 3DFS's magic software has to follow the phase and frequency of the grid - whatever it is, so the amount of control that 3DFS's magic software has on the frequency is less than zero.
Frequency control is irrelevant when precision phase control is possible, which is what SDE delivers. Frequency for SDE can be software defined.

You've lost me there (again), I'm afraid.
"Software defined" grid frequency ??
frequency response using batteries is 1. not real time and 2. limited by the energy within the battery.
FR using 3DFS tech is Real-Time, every microsecond, and unlimited because it is using the power from the grid to correct the power.
SDE has full phase control. Reactive power correction in 180 degrees. This is a much more important feature.
EMP Detection: Software-Defined Electricity operates on the principle of oversampling inputs to extract maximum information on the power flow to deliver the most possible time to react to any electrical event. EMP travels in waves. In oceans preceding a tsunami, shore water recedes significantly back before the inrush. A similar phenomenon is true with EMP in power networks. Time is the most precious resource related to EMP damage mitigation. The sooner it is detected, the more time there is to react.

Edit. Is there any evidence that the bold bit even exits for EMP, I've not been able to find any, yet.
Pretty neat, huh? It is always nice to teach somebody something that they did not know. You will carry that information forever.

Alas for the EMP challenge we were unsuccessful. You are correct. They decided on the incredible innovation of shielding. Some people cannot see the elegance of this solution.
Your efficiencies hardly ever make any sense. If the VectorQ2 is doing many kWs of current correction it's efficiency should be well over 100%, if there's almost no current correcting to be done it's efficiency is less than zero, 98% doesn't come into it.
Agree. If the time-averaged efficiency is less than 100%, you would be better off not installing that thing, right?
This is mixing topics, the two must be separated; frequency regulation and phase angle control.
The calculation of efficiency is key here. We are using 70-120W of power at all times to correct (bring to full synchonization and balance) of 60kW at all times.
That is ridiculous, as I am sure you understand. You lack knowledge of our methods, perhaps it is best to stick to the results.
You lack knowledge of our methods,
The 70-120W INCLUDES the power electronics
and the correction is bidirectional.
The most illustrative example here is a motor. When the current and voltage are not aligned, a 4 pole motor alternates between motor and generator at each pole. This is the most significant source of motor destruction in the power network.
When there are multiple motors in the same panel, they interact with each other in this harmful way resulting in wear and tear that shortens the life of the motors by years.
When SDE is installed in a motor control center for example, all the motors operate at the rated rpm whether loaded or not and since the C&V are always aligned, the motors never experience the fluctuation from generator to motor.
I am just wandering, why isn't this thread already locked, trashed, and troll blocked?
The VectorQ is provides complete surge protection. The fans do not turn on unless a surge comes through.
QuoteThe current correction is not bidirectional, which is why the current transformer has to go on the supply side of the current correcting connection. Another simpler reason is that it's impossible.
Yes it is. The CTs are measuring the power flow which is inherently bidirectional, The correction absolutely goes both ways.
QuoteWhen the currents and voltages are aligned in the suppliers transformer, the currents and voltages in the motor will still be misaligned, the only way for the currents and voltages to be aligned in a motor is for it to not be a motor. Your claims that you somehow correct the phase of the current inside motors and make them better is among the most ridiculous, I'm surprised you continue with them. There's at least one other thread on it somewhere.
You are wrong here too.
