Optimize harmonic mitigation
Mitigating harmonic influence while ensuring your system operates as efficiently as possible can be a struggle.
At Danfoss Drives, we’ll help keep your energy gains in the green by delivering a harmonics solution designed for your business – and system.
How can harmonics interfere with your system?
Harmonics are voltages and currents which have frequency components that pollute the pure sinusoidal waveform in an AC circuit, ultimately distorting the main voltage. To further complicate matters, the greater the number of on-site power electronic switching devices you have, the greater the degree of distortion. However many you have, the results are the same: harmonic interference influences reliability, increases costs and affects overall product quality.
And though these issues are widespread, the challenges they present – and the measures needed to solve them – differ from system to system.
What happens when you take no action?
Excessive harmonic distortion of the mains supply implies the source not only carries 50 Hz or 60 Hz components, but those of a higher frequency. These components cannot be utilized by electrical equipment and thus, the effects of harmonic distortion can be severe:
How Danfoss Drives can help
In running one of Norway’s largest recirculating aquaculture systems, Nordlaks Smolt AS knows only too well the importance of reliability: even the slightest window of unplanned downtime could seriously harm younger salmon. Discover how our range of harmonic mitigation solutions met their needs.
To safeguard patient recovery and create a healthy indoor environment, hospitals must have a reliable HVAC system in place. A system designed to let patients and staff adjust
individual room temperature without overwhelming the main grid. With a Danfoss compressor and condenser control solution, discover how you can reduce harmonic distortion in your hospital with ease.
Mitigate harmonics, correct power factor, and compensate imbalance, all in one product. Offering exceptional high efficiency, AAF 007 suits all Danfoss drives.
