They are prevalent in pumps, HVAC equipment such as chillers, conveyors and machine tools.



Harmonics can play havoc on the electrical power network, causing, tripped circuit breakers, blown fuses, overheating of motors and transformers, insulation break-down and reduced service life of equipment. Issues range from a “simple” nuisance to catastrophic loss. Further, production downtime, repair cost and revenue shortfall, may result in reduced company profits. Harmonic filtering helps to eliminate many of these concerns, enhance efficiency and improve overall plant performance.
