Active Harmonic Filter | Power Quality Solutions

Active Harmonic Filter (AHF)

Active harmonic filters are parallel filters (which means the Load current doesn’t go through the filter) that are used to reduce or mitigate, harmonics to tolerable levels as defined by IEEE-519. These are Active Front End IGBT based topologies connected to the mains, to filter (or clean) the current wave by injecting inverse currents to cancel out the undesired harmonic components. Depending on the harmonic content, the load variation and budget it might be better to go in for a Hybrid Filter.

Active filters can be parallel to achieve the compensation required. Trinity active harmonic filters provide a solution for real-time cancellation of harmonic distortions created by non-linear loads to ensure compliance with IEEE 519, G5/4 and other power quality standards and recommendations. Trinity active harmonic filters are a versatile solution, easily tailored to deliver power factor improvement, voltage variation control, flicker mitigation and load balancing
functionality.
