The use of 600/690 V grids

Of course the most common voltage range used to supply low voltage electrical distribution
systems is 380 to 480 V. As this is the same level widely used for the public electrical distribution
network, an uncountable number of equipment and components is easily available on the mar-
ket. However, the range and number of applications that is working on voltage levels between
600 and 690 V has drastically increased. Nowadays suitable solutions with frequency converters
for 690 Vs are available from Megawatts down to 0.37 Kilowatts.

Energy at a lower price

The higher voltage level is capable to provide advantages, mainly in terms of energy efficiency
improvements as well as cost optimization. Considerable savings can be achieved in the invest-
ment and operation costs for equipment by using motors with 690 V. The initial costs of such
devices are considerable. As power losses decrease with higher voltages cabling and run time
costs decrease significantly. This might make the choice of 690 V instead of lower voltages quite
interesting and convenient.

Standards and limits for 600/690 V applications

The general requirements for EMC and power quality are increasing and a number of different
international and national standards, norms and regulations have been introduced to give guid-
ance for what is to be considered good EMC and power quality. Even if 690 V applications are
providing a lot of advantages compared to the ones in the 400 V range, they suffer from the same
issues like harmonics, unbalance and low power factor. And like any other 400 V device they have
to meet the same international standards for immunity and safety of electrical and electronic
equipment.

Get the most efficient and reliable perfor-

mance out of your 600/690 V application

Of course there are numerous 600/690 V applications. And of course no project is similar to the
other. But quite often the challenges and opportunities are similar to those that other applica-
tions are facing. With more than 50 years of experience in engineering and developing, the
Schaffner Group is definitely able to meet your needs, no matter how demanding or challenging
they are.

Ready-to-use solutions or customer-specific development

The Group's broad range of products and services including EMC/EMI components, harmonic fil-
ters and magnetic components as well as the development and implementation of customized
solutions offers you a complete range of solutions to help you meet your applications challenges.

Energy efficiency and reliability

Electromagnetic interference or power quality issues are not always easy to classify and they
even may not seem to be important, but understanding and improving EMC and power quality
can easily help avoiding energy losses and improve the reliability and productivity of your ap-
plications. This helps processes to use energy more efficiently, avoid downtimes and even reduce
maintenance and restart costs. And as almost all EMC/EMI and PQ standards are applicable the
same way as on 400 V applications it is additionally the precondition to be allowed to run your
process at all.

Global presence and unparalleled customer proximity

The Schaffner Group is the international leader in the development and production of solutions
which ensure the efficient and reliable operation of electronic systems. But beside the technical
know-how customers have additional key elements to consider for cooperation. The global pres-
ence of the Schaffner Group ensures the availability of products and flexible service wherever

For the water and wastewater industry

Energy and operational efficiency, with high automation but low harmonics
Clean water is one of the most precious goods of mankind, especially if it has to be safe enough
to be consumed by humans or used with low risk of immediate or long term harm. As only 3% of
the earth's water is fresh non-saline, almost each drop of water requires some type of treatment
before use. There are several technologies and levels of water treatment, e.g. primary, secondary
and tertiary levels of treatment. Energy and operational efficiency can be reached by:

I  High degree of automation

and high and efficient performance with individual requirements
Marine and offshore applications are usually individual and independent with a flexible ap-
proach, providing client focused solutions. Almost all marine and offshore applications require
electricity which has to be generated on-board or offshore by the use of fuel. Beside the increas-
ing demands on safety and reliability, this leads also to a strong requirement for operational
economy and environmental performance which can be ensured by:

I  The use of modern and efficient motors, generators and drives

I  The use of compact filters for reduced harmonics

As marine and offshore applications are very often unique and individual, Schaffner cannot pro-
vide each and every marine certificate for each product. Individual products are applicable for
some major marine certificates on request. For all those projects not requiring marine certifi-
cates, The Schaffner Group with its proven and globally available solutions is the perfect partner
