Arteche PQ, Inc.—a leading manufacturer of electrical power quality equipment for the improvement of power factor and reduction of harmonic distortion—has introduced a complete range of active harmonic filters. This new filter product line achieves 5 percent total harmonic current distortion (THD) by monitoring the flow of harmonic currents on a power system and injecting the precise amount of cancellation current that will reduce the harmonics to minimal levels. This new range of filters is UL listed and extends all the way from 25 amps (harmonic cancellation current) to 1200 amps.
Gary Anderson, president and general manager, says that “Our new AHF series of filters rounds out our complete offering of harmonic filters and expands our ability to serve customers with the latest technology of solutions. The new AHF is a valuable addition to the other five technologies that Arteche offers for mitigating harmonics.”
