Active harmonic filters by PSS are the premium solution to mitigating harmonic distortion. Simply connect in parallel with a highly-distorted non-linear load, at a distribution panel or at the service entrance panel, and clean up both voltage and current waveforms from the connected point upstream.

Meets Power Quality Standards
All international power quality standards can be met using PSS active harmonic filters. These include IEEE-519,AS-2279,BS G5/4,EN61000-3-4 and more.

Reduce Energy Consumption
Active harmonic filters reduce the amount of energy required to supply non-linear and reactive loads. Energy demands on utility power can be reduced by as much as 20 percent when harmonics are reduced to less than 5 percent and power factor is improved to better than .95.

System Reliability Maximized
Because the active harmonic filters are connected in parallel with your system, there are no series elements that could cause a disruption in power delivery to your load. You do not need to worry about adding a filter bypass circuit as with low pass filter technologies. Additionally, filters achieve the lowest level of harmonic distortion without increasing your series impedance. This means full voltage is delivered to your loads.

Improve Power Factor
In addition to minimizing harmonics, active harmonic filters also improve power factor. Your selection of PSS model number should be based on your kVAR requirements and target power factor. You ’ll benefit from both cleaner power and efficient use of energy.

Guaranteed performance                              
IEEE-519 compliance is achievable with the active harmonic filter selected and installed. You ’ll achieve <5%THID (total harmonic current distortion) and attenuate harmonics up to the 50th harmonic integer.

Active harmonic filters continually monitor the AC load current to determine harmonic content. When harmonic distortion is detected, the filter injects a compensating current into the load supply, canceling out harmonic currents caused by non-linear loads. The fast response time of the filter adapts quickly to dynamic system conditions.

No system analysis required
System analysis can be costly and be rendered obsolete as soon as new equipment is added to the system load bus. Active harmonic filters eliminate the need for power system analysis and related expenses.

No additional hardware required
Active harmonic filters are supplied with the appropriate current transducers and includes an internal EMI/RFI filter to suppress high frequency switching noise.

• Cancel from 50 amps to 600 amps of harmonics with single units!

• Connect multiple units in parallel to achieve higher ratings!

Select based upon the magnitude of harmonics you wish to cancel. Connect multiple units on the line (in parallel) to achieve greater harmonic cancellation capability.
