As the world accelerates its transition toward low-carbon and sustainable energy systems, the integration of renewable energy—such as solar, wind, and hydropower—has become a central pillar of national energy strategies. However, this rapid shift has introduced new challenges to the stability and reliability of power systems. One of the most critical concerns is power quality&md...
Active Harmonic Filters: The Smart Way to Fix Harmonic Distortion Harmonic distortion is one of those hidden issues that can quietly wreak havoc on your electrical system. It’s responsible for things like overheated transformers, motor failures, and unexpected equipment shutdowns. If your facility uses a lot of variable-speed drives or other nonlinear loads, chances are you’ve s...
In today’s increasingly digital and power-electronic-driven world, understanding power quality parameters is essential—especially for engineers, technicians, and facility managers. One such important metric is THDi, or Total Harmonic Distortion of current. But what exactly is THDi, and how does it occur in electrical systems? What is THDi? THDi stands for Total Harmonic D...
Power Quality: Why It Matters and How YT Electric Provides Solutions What Is Power Quality, and Why Should We Care? In 2001, a Silicon Valley manufacturing company lost over $3 million in a single day due to a power outage that halted production.¹ Today, nearly 20% of the world’s electricity is wasted due to inefficiencies in power transmission and distributio...
Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) are widely used in buildings to mitigate harmonic distortion caused by non-linear loads, ensuring power quality, energy efficiency, and compliance with standards like IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-6. Here are key applications of AHFs in buildings: 1. Office Buildings & Commercial Complexes Loads: LED lighting, VFDs (HVAC systems), elevators, UPS systems...
From data centers in Frankfurt to EV charging stations in Southeast Asia, Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) are rapidly becoming the gold standard for solving one of the most overlooked yet costly problems in industrial power systems—harmonics. Modern electrical loads such as variable frequency drives, inverters, and switching power supplies generate non-linear current waveforms, resulting in h...
In our increasingly electrified world, the quality of electric power is more critical than ever. Whether we realize it or not, electric power quality affects virtually every aspect of our lives—from the functionality of household appliances and the reliability of our smartphones, to the stability of industrial systems and the safety of hospitals. Poor power quality can lead to equipment malf...
Modern industry runs on precision—yet harmonic distortions, voltage fluctuations, and reactive power imbalances remain costly adversaries. These silent disruptors erode efficiency, inflate energy bills, and jeopardize compliance. Enter the YTPQC-AHF Active Power Filter (APF): an intelligent solution engineered not just to mitigate power quality issues, but to eliminate them at thei...
