Harmonic Filters & Sizing
Harmonic Filters & Sizing Analysis
Overview
Harmonic filters are extensively used to mitigate harmonic problems.
A properly designed harmonic filter can prevent the harmonic current from injecting into the system, or it can provide a low impedance path at the tuned frequency to remove a parallel resonance. The Harmonic Filter editor provides all the practical and popular filter structures for you to choose from.
Harmonic Filters & Sizing Software Key Features
- Harmonic Filter design and sizing of multiple filter types based on IEEE Std. 1531-2020
- Harmonic filter sizing based on power factor correction, minimum cost, or minimum operation objective
- Automatic harmonic filter overloading checking & alert
- Preview filter behavior by plotting existing and newly sized filter impedances vs. the harmonic order
