Installing an Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) or Static Var Generator (SVG) is not simply a matter of choosing the correct current or kVAr rating. In factories, data centers, commercial buildings and infrastructure projects with multiple transformers or bus sections, the location of the equipment can directly affect compensation performance. Should one large AHF or SVG be installed at the main low-vo...
SVG Reactive Power Compensation: Beyond PF Correction SVG Reactive Power Compensation Is Beyond a Capacitor Bank Upgrade A capacitor bank supplies fixed or switched capacitive kvar. It works when the load is relatively stable, the network is not harmonic-rich, and switching delays do not matter. It becomes a weak fit when VFDs, rectifiers, welding loads, or UPS front ends make reacti...
