DVRs (Dynamic Voltage Restorers), are increasingly sought after by Industry 4.0 operations, to ensure power quality in automated production plants. ZGR Corporación, through its branches in Mexico and Colombia and its regional alliance with Schneider Electric, is experiencing rising demand for these medium and high power systems.
Industrial DVRs to Ensure Power Quality in Colombia’s Petrochemical Sector
Through our strategic alliance with Schneider Electric (SE), a major Colombian oil company has commissioned an AVC DVR rated at 600 kVA, 440 V, with 40% depth for three-phase voltage sags and integrated ByPass functionality. For ZGR Corporación, it is a source of pride and satisfaction that one of Colombia’s largest enterprises has found in ZGR’s technology the solution to its power quality challenges—preventing significant production and financial losses while ensuring energy security.
This is not the first time ZGR has collaborated with this company, underscoring our experience in the region and the loyalty of our client base.
DVR Protection for the Mexican automative industry
One of Mexico’s leading manufacturers of automotive components has ordered seven AVC DVR units rated at 300 kVA, 480 V, with 40% depth for three-phase voltage sags and ByPass functionality. These devices ensure electrical stability in highly automated and digitalised processes, which are particularly sensitive to voltage dips and network disturbances.
Industrial DVRs for Electrical Stability in Automated Food processing systems
Finally, a major company, an industry leader in bakery production and a benchmark in efficient digital manufacturing in Brazil, has installed an AVC DVR rated at 300 kVA, 400 V, with 40% depth for three-phase voltage sags and ByPass. This project was also made possible through our partnership with Schneider Electric (SE), developed within the framework of our collaborative agreement.
The company’s fully automated operations are vulnerable to voltage drops and failures, highlighting the importance of industrial UPS systems, dynamic voltage restorers, and cutting-edge power electronics to ensure the quality of its electrical supply. This is yet another example of how ZGR Corporación is responding to the technological challenges of electrification.
Why Are DVRs Gaining Interest Over Industrial UPS Systems?
Industrial DVRs (Dynamic Voltage Restorers) stand out from other power electronics solutions due to their advanced features:
- Modular from 150 kVA to 6 MVA
- Line voltage range: 200 V to 34,500 V
- Battery-free operation, offering continuous regulation within range
- Capable of correcting three-phase voltage sags up to 60% depth
- Allow Bidirectional current flow
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Available in both indoor and outdoor configurations
These attributes make industrial DVRs ideal for processes sensitive to voltage fluctuations. They protect critical loads against electrical issues such as unregulated voltages, voltage sags, fluctuations, and “flicker effects”. As they do not require batteries, their investment and maintenance costs, as well as their physical footprint, are significantly lower than alternative solutions, making them particularly attractive.
