Harmonics & VFDs: Causes, Solutions, and Key Insights How VFDs Cause Harmonic Issues Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are commonly used to control motor speed and optimize energy consumption in industrial systems. However, VFDs work as nonlinear loads. This means they draw currents that are not smooth, even if the supply voltage is a perfect sine wave. This happens because VFDs change AC power...
Mitigating Harmonics in Frequency Converters with AHF Frequency converters (VFDs) are indispensable components in modern industrial systems. These devices control the speed and torque of electric motors, enabling greater flexibility and efficiency in operations. However, the use of frequency converters often results in harmonic distortions, which can significantly impact the performance and...
