What is harmonic?

Harmonics refer to the amount of electricity contained in a current with a frequency that is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency. Generally, it refers to the Fourier series decomposition of periodic non sinusoidal electricity. In addition to the electricity at the fundamental frequency, the electricity at currents with frequencies greater than the fundamental frequency is called harmonics.

The harmonic frequency is the ratio of the harmonic frequency to the fundamental frequency.

 

Source of harmonics

At present, electrical equipment is diverse and complex, and the nonlinearity of loads is becoming increasingly common, causing a harsh harmonic environment and posing a great threat to ensuring the safe and normal operation of power systems and equipment.

Among them are air conditioning, water pumps, fans, elevators, computer room network equipment, office equipment, UPS, lighting control systems, fire protection systems, monitoring systems, and other power electronic devices.

 

What are the hazards of harmonics?

What are the benefits of treating harmonics?

Direct benefits: 1. Protect capacitors from interference, 2. Reduce losses, 3. Reduce heating of lines and busbars; 4. Protect electrical equipment

Indirect benefits: Improve the quality of system electrical energy, reduce the capacity burden of the distribution system, and protect the safe and stable operation of electrical equipment.

Social benefits: Eliminating harmonics from the source of every low-voltage harmonic source, preventing harmonic currents from flowing into the higher-level power grid, and contributing to the construction of a perfect power quality power grid

 

What standards does harmonic follow?

National standard: GB-T14549-1993 "Harmonics in Power Quality Public Grid" was first promulgated in 1993, and in 2011, standards for the mechanical and communication industries were successively issued: "JB11067-2011T Low Voltage Active Power Filter Device" and "YDT2323-2011_Low Voltage Parallel Active Power Filter for Communication"

 

How to control harmonics?

Haoan Electric's customer has developed Haoanet active power filter APF to address harmonic issues. Haoanet APF modular design includes rack mounted and wall mounted models. Adopting modern power electronics technology, intelligent control, and fast dynamic compensation for harmonics of any order; Simultaneously possessing functions of harmonic compensation, reactive power compensation, and imbalance compensation.

After compensating for the 2nd to 50th harmonics through Haoanet, the THDi is less than 5% and the cos is 0.99 level compensation effect.

Generally, it refers to the Fourier series decomposition of periodic non sinusoidal electricity. Except for the electricity at the fundamental frequency, the electricity generated by currents greater than the fundamental frequency is called harmonics. The harmonic frequency is the ratio of the harmonic frequency to the fundamental frequency (n=fn/f1).

    Reactive power is the electrical power used for the exchange of electric and magnetic fields within a circuit, and for establishing and maintaining a magnetic field in electrical equipment. It does not perform external work, but is converted into other forms of energy. Any electrical equipment with electromagnetic coils that establishes a magnetic field requires the consumption of reactive power. Reactive power does not do any work, but to ensure the conduction of active power, it must first meet the reactive power of the power grid.
