New Generation Passive Harmonic Filters – Ecosine Evo

Modular Passive Harmonic Filters from Schaffner – Ecosine Evo – the New Generation

The new PHF generation “ecosine evo” is designed for the most demanding harmonic mitigation tasks with front-end 6-pulse rectifiers.

Even partial load situations causing harmonic currents can be effectively mitigated. The introduction of a modular system allows the Ecosine Evo passive harmonic filter to deliver optimally tailored solutions for your particular installation. The solution is easily adapted by simply plugging in the suitable module where needed. For more information, watch this:

Active Harmonic Filters Increase Productivity in the Paper Industry

The paper industry is known for its high availability targets and
multiple variable frequency drive applications. Enclosed is a case study
from Schaffner showing the advantages of applying an active harmonic
filter solution to reduce the grid harmonics. As the active filters are
in parallel there is no risk of stopping the machine if the filter fails.

Vacon Launches NXC Low Harmonic Drive Based on Active Harmonic Filter Technology

Vacon Low Harmonic NXCVacon joins Danfoss as the second tier 1 drives manufacturer to integrate an active harmonic filter with a drive to lower harmonics. Vacons stand-alone NXC range previously offered 12 pulse as well as active front end drive solutions.

The Low Harmonic NXC was recently shown at a large exhibition in Sweden and is reportedly offered on a project by project basis but will become a standard offering in the near future. The system shown, verifies the smaller foot print and weight of the Active Filter drive system compared to the more common Active Front End drives. The active filter NXC also has a lower power loss, which is becoming more important as the EN 50598-2 standard is introduced.
