Var compensation
Filter selection

Permanent power quality monitoring with SICAM Q200 devices
Cyclical transfer of recorded data via highly secure communication infrastructure to Siemens server
Automated, AI-based analysis and classification of abnormal events
System alert due to high reactive power consumption and harmonic distortion
Recommendation to improve filter protection to avoid tripping due to external switching transients

Thanks to the warning we could see that we had a problem with a capacitor battery and a 5th harmonic filter. The warning has been very important to us.
