Does your facility have any of these issues?---- Energy bills that are too high.
Machines that run hotter than they should. Production lines that stop unexpectedly. Often, the problem isn't your equipment. The problem is the quality of the electricity that powers them.
It's like giving an athlete dirty water to drink—performance will suffer. In modern buildings and factories, two main types of "dirty power" are common: Harmonics and Reactive Power Problems.
Problem 1: Harmonics – The "Noise" That Overheats Your Gear
What is it?
Modern devices like variable speed drives, computer servers, and LED lights use power in a "choppy" way. They break up the smooth electrical wave, creating extra, electrical signals called harmonics.
What does it cause?
Overheating Equipment: This electrical "noise" turns into wasted heat inside transformers and motors, shortening their life.
Mysterious Shutdowns: Circuit breakers can trip without an obvious reason.
Interference & Errors: Sensitive instruments and network gear can glitch or fail.
The Fix: The Active Harmonic Filter (AHF)
Think of an AHF as a "power doctor." It constantly listens for harmonic "noise" in your electrical lines. The instant it detects it, the AHF produces a perfect opposite signal to cancel the noise out.
The Result: Clean, smooth power flows to your equipment. Machines run cooler and last longer.
Who needs it most?
Data centers, hospital imaging rooms, automated production lines with lots of drives, and offices packed with computers.
Problem 2: Reactive Power – The "Drag" That Makes Your Voltage Sag
What is it?
Motors and transformers need to build a magnetic field to work. We call this reactive power. It doesn't do any real work, but it fills up your electrical wires like useless traffic.
What does it cause?
Voltage Drops: When a large motor starts, it instantly grabs a huge amount of this "field power," causing the voltage to briefly sag. This can shut down other sensitive equipment on the same line.
Utility Bill Penalties: Power companies charge extra fees for this inefficient use of their system.
Your cables and transformers get so full of this useless power that you have no room to add new machines.
The Fix: The Static Var Generator (SVG)
Think of an SVG as an "on-demand power assistant." Installed right in your facility near your big machines, it provides the exact "field power" motors need the instant they need it.
The Result: Voltage stays strong and stable. Those penalty fees disappear. Your existing electrical system gains new capacity.
Who needs it most?
Factories with large stamping presses, crushers, plastic molding machines, cranes, or elevators. Any site that sees "Power Factor" charges on the utility bill.
Quick Guide: Which Problem Do You Have?
Hot equipment, frequent breaker trips, data errors.Harmonic Pollution Active Harmonic Filter (AHF)
Lights dim, production hiccups , extra fees on your power bill. Reactive Power Dragging Down Voltage then we could choose Static Var Generator (SVG)
Often, both problems exist together, requiring both an AHF and an SVG.
First Step: Get a Free "Power Health Check"
The best approach isn't guessing—it's measuring. We offer a free, no-obligation Power Quality Assessment.
Through simple testing, we can help you understand:
Whether you have a power quality problem, and which kind.
How much it's costing you in wasted energy and risk.
What the right solution (AHF, SVG, or both) would be, with a clear view of the investment.
Investing in an AHF or SVG is an investment in stability. It protects your valuable assets, prevents costly unplanned downtime, and cuts unnecessary expenses from your bill.
