In modern power systems, the increasing use of power electronic devices like variable frequency drives (VFDs), arc furnaces, and switched-mode power supplies has led to rising levels of harmonic distortion. These harmonics can severely impact system operation, causing overheating, tripping of circuit breakers, and reduced energy efficiency.
At YT Electric , we faced these challenges head-on by implementing Active Harmonic Filters (AHF) to ensure compliance with IEEE 519 standards and improve overall power quality. This case study explores how AHFs helped us reduce harmonic distortion levels, enhance power distribution, and achieve significant energy savings.
Our facility, which relies heavily on non-linear loads such as arc furnaces and power supplies, experienced:
We needed a solution to mitigate harmonics and improve power quality without compromising system reliability.
After evaluating various harmonic compensation methods, we chose AHFs for their:
The implementation of AHFs delivered remarkable results:
Active Harmonic Filters (AHF) proved to be a game-changer for our facility. By addressing harmonic distortion at its source, we not only improved power quality but also achieved significant cost savings and operational efficiencies. If you're struggling with harmonics, AHFs are a reliable and scalable solution worth considering.
