What Is an Active Harmonic Filter?

An Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) is an advanced Power Quality Improvement device that continuously monitors electrical parameters and injects compensating currents to cancel unwanted harmonics in real time.

  • Harmonics are distortions caused by VFDs, UPS systems, HVAC drives, computer loads, and non-linear equipment.

  • These distortions increase THD, overheat transformers, waste energy, and reduce equipment lifespan.

  • An AHF eliminates these harmonics instantly using IGBT-Based inverters and DSP controllers.

How Active Harmonic Filters Work?

  1. The system performs real-time harmonic analysis.

  2. It identifies harmful harmonic currents.

  3. It generates equal and opposite compensating currents.

  4. Harmonics are cancelled dynamically within milliseconds.

This ensures clean power, optimized performance, and superior equipment protection.
