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...
