solving filtration harmonics H
armonics are a by-product of non-linear loads, a load which draws a non-sinusoidal current.
In our increasingly technology-reliant society, harmonics are a growing concern when it comes to the management of electrical systems in both industrial and commercial sites.
Despite the omnipresence of harmonics, a general lack of understanding – particularly in terms of how best to mitigate them – still exists. It is something that engineers and electricians must be mindful of. Not only is it important in order to optimise the performance of devices, but also with a view to energy efficiency and changing electrical environments.
“A 370 or higher Kilowatt fan or pump load running at 5% voltage distortion, can cost upwards of $15,000 per year.”
