SPECTRA AHF
Key Benefits to the User

• Close to pure sinusoidal plant current (enhanced power quality).
• Compliance to power quality standards (no harmonics penalty).
• Unity power factor operation (saving in electricity bill as per the state board tariff/schemes).
• Reduced energy losses with improved plant efficiency.
• Reduced plant down times from the nuisance tripping due to harmonics.
• Improved plant equipment life.
• The restored ability of existing electrical infrastructure to operate at full-load capacity.

Active harmonic filters (AHF)/Active Power filter(APF) are typically stand-alone devices that reduce the high levels of harmonics produced by energy efficient non-linear loads. They work by injecting harmonics into the electrical system in equal and opposite measure to the existing system harmonics. As previously mentioned, harmonic filters are used to eliminate harmonic distortion caused by excess currents in and out of appliances. It can prevent large quantities of harmonics from causing damage to equipment, downtime of operation, and preventing an increase in operating costs.
