Spectra Harmonic Filter In Chennai
Impact of Harmonic
1.Grid side

• Reduction in efficiency of power generation, transmission, and utilization.
• Aging of the installed electrical plant components and shortening of their useful life.
• Reduced ability to transfer power (kW) through existing T&D infrastructure and transformers.
• Overloading, overheating and failure of power factor correction capacitors, distribution transformers and neutral conductors.
• T&D capability in many parts of India has to be de-rated by upto 10% due to increasing level of harmonics generated from consumer side of meter.
• Harmonics result in capacity reduction and higher fuel consumption for DG Sets or Captive Power Plants.

2.Customer side

• Overheating of transformers, motors and cables.
• Reduction in available capacity of transformers and switchgear.
• Excess neutral currents.
• Power factor capacitor failures.
• Spurious operations of fuses, circuit-breakers and other protective equipment.
• Increased failure of electronic devices.
• Capacity limits on stand-by generators and UPS systems.
• Higher losses in transformers, motors, cables leading to higher power bills.

3.Power factor
The true power factor is the product of displacement & distortion power factor . If the harmonic distortion in more in the system, then the true power factor cannot be improved with just power factor correction capacitors. This can result in power factor penalties, loss of power factor incentives and higher electricity billing in locations with KVAh billing
