Wallumbilla Gas Hub
Located in remote central Queensland, the Wallumbilla Gas Hub is a major part of the Australian natural gas infrastructure network. The function of this facility is to compress the natural gas that is extracted from the ground in that area and pipe it to Brisbane and Rockhampton. To comply with the requirements, Fuseco supplied a Sinexcel 200A Active Harmonic Filter in an IP54 cabinet due to its exceptional performance, small footprint and flexibility.
Wallumbilla Gas Hub
Located in remote central Queensland, the Wallumbilla Gas Hub is a major part of the Australian natural gas infrastructure network. The function of this facility is to compress the natural gas that is extracted from the ground in that area and pipe it to Brisbane and Rockhampton. To comply with the requirements, Fuseco supplied a Sinexcel 200A Active Harmonic Filter in an IP54 cabinet due to its exceptional performance, small footprint and flexibility.
The Challenge
Part of the design specification was a defined electrical harmonic level for the site. The majority of the load comprises of VSD’s and the Engineering team decided to use an Active Harmonic Filter to mitigate the harmonics at the main switchboard and comply with the requirements. The electricity supply to the site consists of the local grid and two generators. When running at full load all three of these supplies are required to power the site.
THE SOLUTION
Fuseco selected the Sinexcel 200A Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) due to its exceptional performance, small footprint and flexibility. In this case an IP54 version was installed to comply with the customer’s requirements. One of the challenges of this site was that the incoming supply was soft and unpredictable which necessitated the use of two large generators on-site. It was deemed important for the AHF to be able to operate efficiently in such an environment that often had three independent synchronised power supplies.
THE OUTCOME
The results were immediate and the performance of the AHF was above and beyond the requirements of the specification, the Supply Authority and the manufacturer of the two generators.
If we refer to the screen shot from the AHF’s touch screen post installation, we can note the following points:
1. The harmonic content of the load is 32%, which is quite typical of VSD loads (top left)
2. The Sinexcel AHF mitigated the load harmonics down to approx. 3% (bottom right)
3. As a result of the compensation by the AHF the corresponding grid voltage harmonics is approx. 2% (bottom left)

- Ease of Installation and Commissioning (‘Plug and Play’)
- User-friendly Interface and Monitoring.
- Also available in 690V.
- 1 year warranty.
- Complies with IEC61000 / IEC60146 / EN55011 / EN50091 / IEEE519
THE SINEXCEL AHF - BENEFITS
Sinexcel have applied new generation thinking and innovative design principles to create a new range of Active Harmonic Filters that have redefined what is possible from a cost vs performance vs space perspective. Their performance and ease of use is unsurpassed, able to compensate the 2nd to the 50th harmonic order or the simultaneous compensation of all 50 harmonic orders in real time! Operating with 97% efficiency, the Sinexcel AHF offers instantaneous, dynamic harmonic compensation, ideal for the challenging demands of modern electrical environments. The Sinexcel AHF are a compact, light-weight and modular design, available in wall mounting and rack/cabinet configurations. The Sinexcel AHF has set the standards for all others to follow.

Robert Magee
SITE MANAGER AT STOWE AUSTRALIA
The technology provided by Fuseco is very reliable, efficient and the wall mounting active filter modules are a great fit for most of our applications. David Gale and his team are very knowledgeable and sensitive to challenges and nuances of our site environments. Highly recommended products and company.
Tim Randall
ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AT DOWNER GROUP
We have harmonic issues across multiple sites and the Fuseco team in conjunction with our site contractors are very good at what they do. Their ability to conduct site analysis, pull through the data, propose solutions and then deliver solutions from stock has helped us on many occasions. Competent, service oriented, no-fuss solutions.
Peter Cowling
ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AT BHP
Power quality issues have always been a pain point on our site however once our contractor partners introduced us to Fuseco, these complex issues became a thing of the past and after sales support is phenomenal. Thank you Fuseco.
Cameron Wilson
FACILITY MANAGER AT FORTESCUE
From the moment the AHF and SVG units were turned on our power factor issues were a thing of the past. At both sites our PF is now 0.99 on all phases all the time, the units react instantaneously to our fluctuating load and power factor and the result has been an excellent return on investment.
