AHF and SVG Maintenance Guide for Equipment Lifetime Modern active power quality systems—including Active Harmonic Filters (AHF) and Static Var Generators (SVG)—serve as the first line of defense for critical industrial distribution networks. Unlike traditional passive capacitor banks that contain no active switching semiconductors or microprocessors, active filters are high-density po...
Power Factor Explained: Why Capacitor Banks Overcorrect at Light Load The same capacitor bank that improves power factor during full production can push a facility into leading power factor when the load falls. This overcompensation often appears at night, on weekends, or after large motors stop while capacitors remain connected. A meter may remain close to 1.00, but “leading,” “...
Installing an Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) or Static Var Generator (SVG) requires more than simply choosing current or kVAr ratings. In facilities with multiple transformers or bus sections, physical placement directly determines compensation performance. Deciding between one large centralized unit at the main bus or several smaller distributed units near individual loads depends on your electrica...
