TO IMPROVE uptime and reduce critical outages in industrial plants and commercial buildings in Türkiye, power quality specialist CP Automation and SineTamer have signed a new partnership with Wömner Power Quality Solutions.
The company offers solutions such a LV and MV capacitor banks and, by adding the SineTamer transient surge suppression devices to its range, it can now mitigate a wider range of supraharmonics and other issues.
Founded in 2021, Wömner Power Quality Solutions is a small company based in Istanbul, Türkiye. With around ten staff members, the company is small but has extensive expertise in power quality. It offers solutions including LV and MV capacitor banks, power quality surveys and resonance filters, supporting both industrial and commercial facilities and helping them stabilise their electrical systems.
Following the partnership, Wömner has added SineTamer’s transient frequency attenuation devices (TFAD) to its range. Unlike traditional surge protection devices, these use special frequency attenuation circuitry rather than voltage actuation. Consequently, the device can actively track and follow the sinewave form — protecting all 360 degrees, not just the extremes.
"A growing concern in Türkiye is supraharmonics - voltage and current waveform distortions in the frequency range of 2-150 kHz," explained Faruk Başar, power quality manager at Wömner Power Quality Solutions. "One of the reasons is the increase in EV chargers and other distributed energy resources, which can bring added risks to the grid. However, many traditional devices, such as power and voltage meters, are unable to detect and address these distortions, leaving sites in blind spots.
"Around 80% of our customers are industrial, working in steel, textiles, paper and other associated markets," added Başar. "Capacitor banks were always our core business, but we wanted to branch out further into power quality, which meant adding harmonic mitigation and transient filters to our line. That’s where SineTamer came in. It was the perfect plug for this gap and will help us address supraharmonic issues."
"Türkiye isn’t alone. As more countries around the world transition to renewables, this will have a long-term impact on the grid and our power supplies," commented John Mitchell, global sales and marketing director at CP Automation. "We’re excited about working with the team at Wömner, sharing our experience of power infrastructures and using this to help Turkiye’s industrial and commercial sites.”
"It’s great to have Wömner on board," said Jeff Edwards, CEO and founder of SineTamer. "The company is highly knowledgeable, and Faruk and the team understand the challenges facing Türkiye power infrastructure - and the solutions required. SineTamer will only strengthen its portfolio and we’re looking forward to seeing the results."
