Economic and Exploitation Aspects of Reactive Power Compensation Consumed by Laboratory Roller Mixer

Results of measurements of selected electrical parameters in supply system of laboratory roller mixer (IODi AGH type) during its operation are presented. Basing on the analysis of measured electric parameters and energy consumption the compensation capacitors system was chosen. The effect of improving the power factor cosφ (and also tgφ) has achieved. After capacitors installation in supply system of the mixer drive the measurements of electric parameters and analysis of harmonic of voltage and current were realised. The results were compared with the limit values from electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standard PN-EN61000-3-2. The economic and operational effects of reactive power compensation in supply system of the mixer have been highlighted.
