Phase Compensating Module (PCM v1)
Phasor's PCM: Innovative Solution for Phase Loss Challenges
Phasor’s patented PCM effectively tackles phase loss by seamlessly compensating for missing phases, ensuring that single-phase devices remain functional. Without it, a facility could face a shutdown of 33-66% of its operations. The PCM is crafted to deliver uninterrupted power to electrical panels at risk of phase loss, thus averting equipment failure and downtime. It is conveniently mountable on a standard DIN rail within distribution or control panels.
Phasor PCM: Ensures Uninterrupted Power During Phase Loss
Phasor’s PCM (Phase Compensation Module) is your equipment’s guardian angel during unexpected power outages caused by phase loss. Unlike traditional systems that experience complete blackouts, the PCM takes immediate action to keep your single-phase essential appliances and devices running smoothly.
Here’s how this patented innovative technology works:
Automatic Phase Compensation: When a phase loss occurs, the PCM doesn’t wait around. It cleverly utilizes the remaining phases in your electrical system to compensate for the missing one. This means that single-phase appliances, commonly found in homes and businesses, continue to operate seamlessly without any interruption to their power supply.
Minimizes Downtime and Protects Equipment: By maintaining power during phase loss events, the PCM helps you avoid costly downtime. Imagine the impact on your business if critical operations were to suddenly halt due to a power outage. The PCM helps prevent this scenario, ensuring your equipment remains powered and operational. Additionally, the sudden on-and-off nature of power cuts can stress and damage electrical devices. The PCM’s seamless power compensation during phase loss safeguards your equipment from such potential harm.
What gets installed and how it works in practice:
The PCM is a hero that installs directly into your electrical panel. It acts like a vigilant guard, instantly detecting and compensating for the loss of one or two phases. It then cleverly redistributes power from the active phases to maintain uninterrupted service for single-phase devices. Once the power situation returns to normal, the PCM swiftly re-establishes the original phase configuration, resuming standard operations.
Important considerations:
- The PCM works with both 2 and 3-phase electrical systems. It ensures single-phase devices continue to function normally during a phase loss. However, three-phase equipment won’t operate with the PCM during the outage, but they’ll resume normal operation once the missing phase is restored.
- It’s important to consider load distribution when using the PCM to ensure optimal performance.
