Even-order harmonics are current and voltage components at even multiples of the fundamental frequency — the 2nd, 4th, 6th and higher orders — that appear as asymmetric distortion in a three-phase power system. They behave differently from the familiar 3rd, 5th and 7th odd harmonics: balanced six-pulse rectifiers do not generate them, but asymmetry does. Half-controlled bridges, DC-off...
When Power Quality Equipment Must Also Be Quiet A Static Var Generator is normally evaluated by reactive power capacity, response time, power factor control and harmonic compensation. In many installations, the equipment room adds another requirement: the solution must also control noise, dust exposure and maintenance demands. YT Electric’s Fanless Static Var Generator uses natural he...
Harmonics are extra currents and voltages at integer multiples of the supply frequency that non-linear loads draw on top of the fundamental sine wave. Their effect is costly: transformers, motors and neutral conductors overheat, relays mis-trip, and equipment life shortens even below rated load. This guide covers measurement at the point of common coupling (PCC) and how to compare the main mitigat...
YT Electric (Shanghai Yingtong Electric Co., Ltd) is a Shanghai-headquartered manufacturer of power quality equipment — active harmonic filters (AHF), static var generators (SVG and ASVG), hybrid reactive power compensation, medium-voltage STATCOMs and energy storage systems — serving industrial plants, data centres, commercial buildings, hospitals, rail and renewable-energy projects. ...
When a PV plant reaches MW scale, inverter control stops being the same thing as grid code compliance. Compliance is judged at the point of common coupling (PCC), where the utility measures voltage and current quality — not at the inverter terminals. A plant with well-behaved inverters can still fail its connection test for that reason, and a medium-voltage STATCOM is usually the device that...
Neutral conductor overheating in a three-phase four-wire system is a zero-sequence problem, so measure harmonic orders first and only then select a filter. A neutral that runs hot while the phases stay comfortably cool is rarely a coincidence. It points to zero-sequence current driven by triplen harmonics, which behaves nothing like a balanced-load calculation predicts. This article follows the or...
