Grid faults are occurring more and more frequently in power supply networks. Non-linear equipment such as switching power supplies, UPS systems and frequency converters "pollute" the internal power supply of a building and also the public power supply network. Overvoltages, high-frequency currents and mains feedback stress the components of a system.

The solution is electric harmonic filters. They reduce losses and lower operating costs. The grid is smoothed, the components are protected and the service life of the system is increased.

What triggers harmonics?

  • Halogen and fluorescent lamps
  • LED and energy-saving lights
  • Dimmers
  • PCs
  • Power supply units
  • Chargers
  • Kitchen appliances, induction cookers
  • Elevators
  • Escalators

  • Servers, data processing
  • Speed-controlled drives - Frequency converters
  • Machine tools
  • Refrigerating machines
  • Compressors
  • Pumping and conveying stations

How do harmonics make themselves felt?

  • Overloading of transformers, cables and systems
  • Overloading and destruction of capacitors
  • Additional heating, faster device ageing
  • Disturbing noise development (hum)
  • Malfunctions, e.g. in the control of power converters due to multiple zero crossings
  • Malfunctions with ripple control receivers
  • IT system crashes
  • Uncontrolled switching off of equipment in industrial systems
  • Current load on the neutral conductor up to the point of burning out
  • Neutral conductor currents caused by harmonics circulate throughout the entire equipotential bonding system via water and heating pipes, communication systems and can lead to increased corrosion and even pitting on pipes.
