The textile sector, a linchpin of global manufacturing, has embraced automation and energy-efficient technologies to stay competitive. Yet, the proliferation of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), DC-powered machinery, and smart equipment has unleashed an invisible enemy: harmonic pollution. These distortions degrade power quality, disrupt production, and inflate costs—posing a criti...
Active Harmonic Filters vs. Line Reactors: A Comprehensive Technical Comparison Understanding Harmonic Mitigation Harmonic distortion in electrical systems, caused by non-linear loads like variable frequency drives (VFDs) and switch-mode power supplies, degrades power quality, increases losses, and risks equipment damage. Two primary solutions exist: Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) and Line Reactor...
Harnessing the Advantages of 440 V Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) As factories, data centres and commercial buildings fill up with variable-frequency drives (VFDs), switched-mode power supplies and LED lighting, harmonic distortion has become the silent saboteur of operational reliability. Excess harmonics overheat transformers, trip protective devices and erode energy efficiency&mda...
Why Your 440V System Needs AHF: Tackling Hidden Power Quality Issues In industrial and commercial facilities, reliable and efficient electrical systems are essential to maintaining productivity and minimizing downtime. However, a common yet often overlooked issue affecting many 440V electrical systems is harmonics distortion. Active Harmonic Filters (AHF) offer an effective solution,...
