Optimizing
Monitoring
Recording
The active harmonic filter BLUEWAVE analyzes the measured consumer current in terms of the phase length and
harmonic proportion. After this is calculated, an inverted
current signal with the same spectrum is fed into the
relevant current node point. BLUEWAVE thereby controls
the mains current in terms of minimal mains pollution
and harmonics currents. This guarantees an optimal network quality without other consumers being impaired
in their function.
BluEwaVE 30 a / 50 a (3-wire)
Space-saving through compact construction and with a power dissipation
of only 1300 W, extremely economical.
BluEwaVE 30 a / 60 a (4-wire)
Compensates the harmonics occurring in the neutral conductor. Optimal
for building engineering due to low
noise development.

the solution for better network quality
situation:
there is a quality problem in the
energy network of many companies.
Safety and cost-effectiveness are central factors in
companies. One prerequisite of this is that technical
infrastructures in the form of machines, production
systems or office equipment function without trouble.
This is often not the case: usually without a directly
apparent reason, and despite UPS back-up and emergency
generators. The consequences are:
p
distribution lines and networks cannot be fully
utilized
p
high percentage of energy losses in the networks
p
increased wear and tear and limited
availability of systems
p
downtime for units and systems

solution:
BluEwaVE eliminates harmonic and
reduces the costs for reactive power
the advantages
current harmonics and reactive power. With these features,
the active harmonic filter presents itself as an all-in-one
device for excellent power quality
without BluEwaVE
with BluEwaVE
Harmonics and reactive power load the network and lead to problems.
Harmonics and reactive power are compensated actively, the network quality is safeguarded.
p
compact models for every requirement
Whether building technology or automation technology: with its extensive range of models, BLUEWAvE is
ideal for the most diverse applications. versions of the
devices range from 30 to 300 Ampere and 380 to 480
volts and this in 3 or 4-wire technology.
p
Rapid compensation almost in real-time
The faster an active harmonic filter reacts to disruptions
in the network, the more exactly does it compensate
them. Since BLUEWAvE is fully digital, a reaction time
of less than 300 microseconds is possible. This way,
BLUEWAvE ensures an excellent power quality and
protects network components, cables and machines.
p
Resistant towards external influences
In industrial environments, clean room atmospheres
do not always prevail. The high-tech components in
BLUEWAvE are therefore protected from external
influences. The 30 and 50-Ampere versions are
equipped by default with protection type IP20, and
thus protected from dust. The 300 Ampere version also
resists spray water, thanks to protection class IP54.
p
high-performance in a confined space
In comparison with other active power filters,
BLUEWAvE requires little space. In its 50-Ampere
version, the device has external dimensions of only
36 x 59 x 29 cm and weighs less than 50 kg. This makes
wall assembly possible without any problems.

So that you can find the optimal solution for excellent network quality,
KBR is at your service as a competent BLUEWAvE system partner:
from consultation about the network analysis and planning down to implementation and after sales service. 24 months warranty from KBR provide
you with additional security.
In accordance with the new German low-voltage connection directive
(NAv), grid subscribers in Germany must operate their devices so that disruptions to other subscribers are ruled out. Otherwise the network operator is
allowed to interrupt connections without any warning, to prevent disruptive
feedback effects on systems of the network operator or other connection
participants. Energy-consuming companies and institutions are for this reason forced to check their internal networks and ensure that limiting values
are maintained. With BLUEWAvE, specified deviations can be reduced so that
the value again lies within tolerance. This provides more safety.
