The Growing and Interesting Applications of Active Harmonic Filter
A growing demand for Active Harmonic filters or commonly known as PF3 - Intelligent
Power Quality Filter 3Phase 3Wire is to be seen in the market for a number of applications. It is becoming famous and being used more due to its ability to replace the network harmonics from the supply source. There are many disadvantages of harmonic filters which has been causing serious problems since a very long time. These problems are:
Capacitor malfunctioning
Repeated tripping of circuit breakers
Excitation of network resonance
Failure of precision control
High current in neutral conductors
Damage to equipment
Overheating of transformer, motor and Wires
Active harmonic filters are completely cost effective and are useful in various important applications. It acts as a solution for problems relating to quality of power. One of its best advantages is that there is no need to worry about the management fees, as it is fully eliminated when Active harmonic filters are used. It also offers parallel connection which is quite beneficial for large systems. There is no need of special current transformers and it offers phase load balancing as well. Easy commissioning, reactive power compensation and intelligent harmonic current predictions are some of its most important applications. It also provides the benefit of offering Advanced Modulation technology to reduce ultra-low harmonic distortion it is highly applicable in Industry and is widely known for intelligent harmonic current prediction as well as selectable harmonic compensation. It also offers user-friendly graphical user Interface with LCD which is very useful for people who have a minimum level of knowledge about how it operates.
With this facility the operators can monitor filter behavior and various components, measure system variables easily, record event log, monitor the status of the work, save the system and process from any sort of a malfunctioning. Moreover the waveform in the graphical display also offers a great advantage to the operator. An operator or a manager can operate it from his/her own personal computer with the help of a remote. The windows based graphical user interface allows the users to manage each task quite efficiently and effectively.
Active Harmonic filter is highly functional and useful as it provides a number of advantages which are comparable to none. Its effectiveness and great performance has increased its demand over the past years leading to the rise of numerous applications in various industries and walks of life.
