Description
An Active Harmonic Filter is most common application reducing harmonic pollution within electrical installations, helps ensure ‘clean’ current. An active harmonic filter requires a stable external power source to inject phase opposite current harmonics to downstream loads. Dependent on the stability of the connected external power source, its efficiency will vary. The proliferation of electronic switching devices increase in the amount of harmonic pollution in the electrical distribution systems, the harmonic currents may overload the equipment and cables, resulting in (energy) losses and unnecessary heating of cables and components, temperature buildup resulting in a fire
