What is difference of Active Harmonic Filter and Active Power Filter? The principle of an Active Harmonic Filter AHF is to mitigate or eliminate harmonic distortion in electrical power systems. Harmonics are unwanted currents or voltages that deviate from the fundamental frequency of the power system. These harmonics are typically generated by nonlinear loads such as variable frequency drives, com...
The determination of the appropriate compensation capacity is an absolutely crucial aspect in projects where the installation of reactive power compensation devices, such as capacitor banks, Static Var Generator (SVG), or Hybrid reactive power compensation devices, is imperative. For new projects: In new projects that are currently in the design stage, the required compensation capacity (kVAr) can...
What is harmonic and how to manage it? Harmonics denote electrical quantities that possess frequencies which are integer multiples of the fundamental wave present in the current. This concept typically involves the Fourier series decomposition of periodic, non-sinusoidal electrical quantities. In this context, any electrical quantity with a frequency exceeding that of the fundamental wave, derived...
What is the reason for high neutral line current? Neutral current primarily arises due to two factors: three-phase unbalance and harmonic currents. Three-Phase Imbalance In a three-phase four-wire power distribution system, the ideal scenario entails an even distribution of loads across all three phases. This balance ensures that the vector sum of the three-phase currents is z...
