Operating Characteristics of the CVS & MCR Series

Regulation

Sola/Hevi-Duty’s CVS pow er con di tion ers will hold output

volt ag es to ±1.0% or less with input vari a tions as great as

±15% (115V ±15% or 120 V +10%/-20%). Units op er at ed at

less than rat ed load will maintain ap prox i mate ly ±1% regula-

tion over a wider input line volt age variation. Output meets

NEMA voltage speciﬁcations even when input voltage drops

to 65% of nominal. The output versus input voltage re la -

tion ship for a typical CVS is show in Figure A.

Figure A: Load Variation

Note: MCR line regulations: ±3% for 60 Hz; ±5% for 50 Hz.

The typical per for manc es shown in Figure B indicate that

most of the residual changes take place near the lower

(95 V) and upper (130 V) ends of the input range. It is

possible to improve output regulation if line variations remain

within a restricted range near the center of the nameplate

range (for example, 100-120 V).

Figure B: Line Regulation

Except as noted, all characteristics of Sola/Hevi-Duty’s CVS products also

apply to the MCR series.

Normally, the output voltage will rise as the load is

decreased. Typical percentages for changes in resistive

load from full to zero load as shown below.

Input Characteristics

Sola/Hevi-Duty power conditioners include a resonant

circuit that is energized whether or not it is serving load. The

input current at no load or light load may run 50% or more

of the full primary current. As a result, the tem per a ture of the

unit may rise to substantially full-load level, even at light or no

load. Input power factor will average 90-100% at full load,

but may drop to about 75% at half load and 25% at no load.

In any case, the current is always leading. The input no load

watts are about 12.5% of the VA rating.

Frequency

Output voltage varies linearly with a change of fre quen cy of

the input voltage. This change is about 1.5% of the

output voltage for each 1% change in input frequency and in

the same direction as the frequency change.

Power Factor

Sola/Hevi-Duty power conditioners regulate any power factor

load. Output voltage is a function of load current and load

power factor (see Figure C). If lower voltage under lagging

power factor is objectionable, correction may be made with

ca pac i tors at the load. “Median” value of output voltage will

vary from the name plate rating if the load has a power

factor other than that for which the trans form er was

designed. Load regulation will also be relatively greater as

the in duc tive load power factor is decreased (see Figure C).

However, the resulting median values of output voltage will

be reg u lat ed against supply line chang es at any rea son able

load or load power factor.

1Power Protection and Conditioning

Motor Loads

Because of the fast response time of the Sola circuit, any

current-limiting characteristic must be taken into account

for transient overloads such as motor starting and solenoid

operation. In general, the Sola constant voltage regulator

must have a ca pac i ty nearly equal to the max i mum de mand

made on it, even for an instant. To determine the power

rating of the regulator, peak motor-starting current or

so le noid inrush current should be measured or power factor

cor rect ing capacitors should be used to reduce the starting

VA of the load.

Response Time

An important advantage of Sola’s ferroresonant trans form er

is its fast response time compared with other types of AC

regulators. Transient changes in supply voltage are usually

corrected within 1-1/2 cycles or less; the output voltage

will not ﬂuctuate more than a few percent, even during this

interval.

Figure D: Overload Performance

Figure C: Power Factor

Efficiency

The copper magnet wire and lamination material used in

Sola/Hevi-Duty ferroresonant products are selected to

achieve ef ﬁ cien cies of 90% or higher. Whether or not an

external load is being served, current will be drawn from the

line whenever the primary is energized, since the capacitor

remains connected in the circuit.

Overload and Short Circuits

When the load is increased beyond the regulator’s rated

value, a point is reached where the output voltage sud den ly

col laps es and will not regain its normal value until the load is

partially released. Under direct short circuit, the load current

is limited to approximately 150-200% of the rated full load

value and the input watts to less than 10% of normal.

A constant voltage regulator will protect both itself and its

load against damage from ex ces sive fault currents. Fusing

of load currents may not be necessary. The actual value of

short-circuit current varies with the speciﬁc design and

rating. Units may be operated in deﬁ n i t e l y a t s h o r t - c i r c u i t .

This characteristic protects the unit itself as well as the load

and load circuit being served. Typical overload

per for mance is shown in Figure D.

Gross Automation (877) 268-3700 · www.solahevidutysales.com · sales@grossautomation.com

Power Protection and Conditioning

Temperature

Sola’s ferroresonant power conditioners are very stable

with respect to temperature. The change in output voltage

is only 0.025%/°C. Units are factory adjusted to +2%/-0%

of nominal, with full load and nominal input voltage. This

ad just ment to the high side of nominal is to compensate for

the natural temperature drift of about 1% that takes place

during initial turn-on or warm-up. When the unit warms up to

operating tem per a ture, the voltage typ i cal ly falls about 1%.

At a stable operating temperature, the output voltage will

change slightly with varying ambient temperatures. This shift

is equal to approximately 1% for each 40°C of temperature

change. The normal maximum temperature rise of a Sola

power conditioner may fall anywhere in the range of 40°C

to 110°C depending on the type and rating. The nominal

design ambient range is between -20°C and +50°C (-20°C

to +40°C for 70 - 1000 VA, 60 Hz portable models).

External Magnetic Field

In almost all applications, this effect may be dis re gard ed.

The exclusive Sola/Hevi-Duty “wide outside leg” construction

(U.S. Patent 2,806,199) reduces stray magnetic ﬁelds to a

practical minimum. On critical applications, care should be

taken in ori en ta tion of the core with respect to critical circuits

to minimize the effect of the ﬁeld.

Phase Shift

The phase difference which exists between input and

output voltages is in the range of 120 degrees to 140 de-

grees at full load. This phase difference varies with the mag-

nitude and power factor of the load, and to a lesser extent,

with changes in line voltage and load power factor.

Transient Protection

Ferroresonant power conditioners protect input transients

(caused by lightning and load switch ing) from damaging the

sensitive electronic load. A typical surge protective device

(SPD) tries to ‘clamp’ a transient by diverting it to ground.

A ferroresonant power conditioner “blocks” the tran sient.

This ‘block ing’ action is achieved by total physical separation

from input (primary) to output (sec ond ary). Because of

this difference in operation, it is difﬁcult to apply the same

speciﬁcations to a ferroresonant power con di tion er. Some

parallels can be made however.

One, is that under load, the let-through voltage of a

ferroresonant power con di tion er (SPD refer to "clamping

voltage”) is less than 10 V above the point where the sine

wave would normally be at any given time. The ferroreso-

nant power conditioner is an ‘active tracking’ suppressor

with several advantages. The Ferro power conditioner will

not shunt the transient to the ground line as SPD devices

typically do. Shunting the transient to ground can cause the

disturbance to be transmitted to other sen si tive loads within

a facility. This can pose serious problems with elec tron ic or

microprocessor-based equip ment, especially if there is poor

grounding within a facility. Other advantages provided by fer-

roresonant power con di tion ers include noise ﬁltering, ﬁltering

of har mon ic distortion and protection against voltage ﬂuctua-

tions such as sags or swells. These features are not provided

by standard surge suppression devices but are often

mis rep re sent ed or misused by SPD manufacturers trying to

market their product as a “Do All” power quality device.
