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...
Reactive power charges and power factor assessments are common in electricity billing, especially for industrial and commercial consumers. Here's a detailed explanation: 1. Reactive Power Charge Reactive power (measured in kVARh) is the power consumed by inductive or capacitive loads (e.g., motors, transformers, fluorescent lights) that do not perform actual work but are necessary for maintai...
Introduction Did you know that over 80 percent of EV charging in Europe and many Asia‑Pacific markets already happens at home? That simple statistic explains why residential AC chargers have become the unsung heroes of the e‑mobility revolution. In this post we’ll explore: How AC charging actually works Key hardware & smart‑software features ...
Yes, sometimes. Plug‑in AC chargers (e.g., NEMA 5‑15, 6‑20, 14‑50, or IEC plug types) are realistic DIY if an appropriately rated, existing receptacle is already present and code‑compliant. Hardwired EVSE, new circuits, or panel upgrades generally require permits, inspection, and often a licensed electrician. Many jurisdictions mandate it. The safe path: complete the eligibili...
Protecting Your EV Battery: The Role of Smart Home Charging Solutions EV batteries are expensive, sophisticated electrochemical systems. How you charge them—especially at home, where most charging happens—has a direct impact on long-term capacity, performance, and resale value. Smart home charging solutions turn a simple power outlet into a battery-aware system that manag...
