VARSine ActivSineActive Harmonic Filter

SHARE

The ActivSine series active harmonic filter is a comprehensive power quality solution designed to enhance electrical efficiency and reliability. It employs a three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) topology circuit, which features 12 IGBT power devices per phase, enabling the generation of three distinct voltage levels at the output. This architecture not only improves voltage quality and lowers harmonic distortion but also minimizes the need for additional output filters, thereby reducing associated costs. The filter is engineered in various configurations, including wall-mounted, rack-mountable, and cabinet versions, each supporting different amperage ranges from 30A up to 600A. Its modular nature allows users to scale their systems by paralleled connection of up to 20 modules, providing higher current capacities for varying applications. Capable of real-time automatic power factor correction and load balancing, the ActivSine series is a versatile tool in the modern electrical landscape, making it suitable for industrial, commercial, and utility-scale deployments.

The ActivSine series active harmonic filter operates on a three-level topology circuit. It provides power quality solutions such as harmonic elimination, real-time automatic power factor correction, and load balancing. It is available in three versions: a wall-mounted enclosure version, ranging from 30A to 150A, a rack-mountable version for standard 19” cabinets, ranging from 30A to 150A, and a cabinet version, ranging from 100A to 600A.

Its modular design allows users to easily achieve the desired filter current capacity by connecting up to 20 modules in parallel.

  • The active harmonic filter operates on a three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) topology. As shown in the figure below, the traditional structure of the 2-level topology circuit consists of 6 IGBTs (2 IGBT power devices on each phase pin and current path), and in the 3-level topology, there are 12 IGBTs (in each phase, 4 IGBT power devices on the pins and current paths).

  • The three-level topology circuit can generate three voltage levels at the output, including the positive DC bus voltage, the zero voltage, and the negative DC bus voltage. Two-level topology circuits can only produce positive and negative voltages. At the same time, the three-level topology circuit also ensures higher quality output voltage and better harmonics, thereby reducing requirements for output filters and associated costs.
