Harmonic Filters
Enhancing Power Quality with ABB Harmonic Filters
In industrial and commercial environments, maintaining optimal power quality is essential. Harmonic distortions, often caused by non-linear loads such as variable speed drives, can lead to inefficiencies and equipment malfunctions. ABB offers a comprehensive range of harmonic filters designed to mitigate these issues, ensuring stable voltage levels and improved power factors.
Understanding Harmonics
Harmonics are voltage or current distortions within an electrical system, typically introduced by non-linear loads. These distortions can result in overheating of equipment, increased energy losses, and potential operational disruptions. Implementing harmonic filters is a proven method to address these challenges, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of your power systems.
