HARMONIC FILTRATION

Harmonic Filters are designed to neutralise voltage and current interference produced by:

• PCs
• Lights
• Lifts, and other electrical equipment.

SDC Industries design and manufacture a range of Passive and Active harmonic filters to combat this problem to within G5/4 limits.

PROBLEMS Caused by Harmonics:

Network: There are a number of problems caused by harmonics in your network, including increased power losses, strong electromagnetic fields, interference on the network and failure in remote control systems.

Computers: Harmonics increase the risk of malfunction and interference.

Power Factor Correction Capacitors: Capacitors are extremely sensitive to harmonics. This can result in increased power losses, decreased operating life, the risk of resonance and higher dielectric capacitors required.

Transformers: Harmonics can cause Increased power losses, decreased operating life, noise and temperature rises.

Cables: Harmonics are responsible for increased level of power loss and the risk of fire.

BENEFITS of utilising Harmonic Filtration:

By installing Harmonic Filtration, you can protect your power system in the following ways:

Increased efficiency in low voltage network:

• Reduction in transmission losses
• Increased loadability of the existing network and cables
• Lower temperature of cables, switchboards and transformers.

Increased Efficiency:

• Less power, more load
• Less maintenance
• Longer lifespan of lamps and capacitors.

More Reliability in system:

• Reduced temperature of network devices
• Increased maintenance intervals
• Longer lifespan of the network.
