Effect of input capacitors between UPS and Generator

Jul , 18 2022

Input capacitors used for filtering purpose cause pure apparent power to flow between the supply and the UPS. Such power is referred to as leading or capacitive power. Gensets can manage limited amount of pure leading power, as it interferes with the excitation circuit in the AC generator, leading to voltage oscillations and genset’s shutdown. Safe operating area charts show the allowed gensets’ l...
