An Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) is a dynamic power quality management device. It based on power electronics technology, primarily designed to eliminate harmonic currents and compensate reactive power in electrical systems. Its core operation revolves around real-time detection, calculation, and dynamic compensation of harmonic distortions. So what situation do we need this equipment? Metallurgy In...
Harmonic Distortion Explained: Dangers of High Levels & How to Protect Your Systems Harmonic distortion is a hidden threat in modern electrical systems. While it doesn't get the same attention as power outages or surges, excessive harmonic distortion can quietly damage equipment, reduce energy efficiency, and cost businesses thousands. Understanding what harmonic distortion is, why it happens,...
Analysis of 3 Different Power Factor Correction Solutions: Capacitors, SVG, and AHF In today’s industrial and commercial environments, ensuring power quality is more than just good practice—it’s a necessity. Poor power quality can lead to equipment malfunctions, increased utility costs, and downtime. One major aspect of power quality is the power factor—a measure of ho...
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...
