Active Harmonic Filter
By the use of Active Harmonic Filters, harmonics can be efficiently eliminated. If you are looking for an Active Harmonic Filter; Westek has the solution.
Harmonics in Electrical Systems
In an electrical system, harmonics should be avoided as it can be harmful and cause power quality problems. The effects can be reduced life of the power equipment as well as create heat due to the increased operating temperature of the motor. The harmful effects of harmonics can often go unnoticed until actual failure occurs. In addition, the presence of harmonics is not cost effective as the electrical consumption goes up.
Harmonic mitigation filters will improve the reliability, save energy and consequently reduce the operating cost. Westek offers many products and solutions that will enable your electrical system to run safely and smoothly without the loss of performance and quality.
Active Harmonic Filters
Active Harmonic Filters are designed to remove harmful electrical signals. An Active Harmonic Filter injects exactly the right amount of compensation current that enables the current waveform to be restored instantaneously.
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen (MR) Active Harmonic Filters function like a controlled current source. This makes it possible to feed current into the network in any phasing, amplitude and frequency. Reactive power, load fluctuations and harmonics are compensated actively on the principle of elimination.
