Improve power quality and meet compliance with passive harmonic filters from Westek Electronics – trusted supplier for Australian industries.
As Australian industries integrate more advanced electronics and energy-efficient systems, the demand for high-quality, stable electrical power grows. Non-linear electrical loads—like variable frequency drives, power supplies, and inverters—introduce harmonic distortion that can degrade system efficiency, shorten equipment life, and lead to compliance issues.
To combat these problems, passive harmonic filters have emerged as a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution for businesses seeking to optimise energy use and meet national standards like AS/NZS 61000.3.6.
What Are Passive Harmonic Filters?
Passive harmonic filters are electrical components designed to reduce harmonics by targeting specific frequencies using tuned inductors, capacitors, and resistors. By installing these filters at key points in your electrical system—typically near non-linear loads—you can:
• Reduce total harmonic distortion (THD)
• Stabilise voltage and current
• Enhance overall power quality
• Minimise wear on equipment
Passive vs. Active Harmonic Filters – Which Is Right for You?
While active harmonic filters offer dynamic real-time correction and are suited for highly variable loads, they come with higher upfront and maintenance costs.
Passive filters, on the other hand, are:
• Simpler to install and operate
• More cost-effective for fixed-load environments
• Highly durable with minimal upkeep
This makes passive harmonic filters ideal for industries such as manufacturing, mining, healthcare, defence, and education—especially where load profiles remain relatively stable.
