What is Harmonic Mitigating Transformers? Harmonic Mitigating Transformers (HMTs) are specialized electrical devices designed to reduce energy wastage by minimizing losses caused by harmonic distortions. They achieve this through several mechanisms: 1. Triplen Harmonic Cancellation: By cancelling out zero phase sequence harmonic fluxes, HMTs prevent triplen harmonic currents from circulatin...
What's effect of Static var generator on power factor? Effects of a Static Var Generator (SVG) on Power Factor A Static Var Generator (SVG), also known as a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), is a device used to provide dynamic reactive power compensation in electrical power systems. It plays a crucial role in improving the power factor, which is a measure of how effectively electrical powe...
