Introduction
■ Harmonic filter
Harmonic currents do not directly affect the electricity
consumption but has an impact on following conditions:
Higher total current to be handled by the installations
- Increases load on transformer (sometimes it will
require a larger transformer, particular at retrofit)
- Increases heat losses in transformer and installation
- In some cases demands larger cables,
switches and fuses
Higher voltage distortion due to higher current
- Increase risk for disturbing electronic equipment
connected to same grid
A high percentage of rectifier load from eg frequency
converters, will increase the harmonic current, which
must be reduced to avoid the above consequences.
Therefore the frequency converter has as standard,
built in DC coils reducing the total current with about
40% (compared to devices without any arrangement
for harmonic suppression), down to 40-45% ThiD.
In some cases there is a need for further suppression
(eg retrofit with frequency converters). For this purpose
Danfoss can offer two advanced harmonic filters
AHF05 and AHF10, bringing the harmonic current
down to around 5% and 10% respectively. For further
details see instruction MG.80.BX.YY.
MCT 31
The MCT 31 harmonic calculation PC tool enables
easy estimation of the harmonic distortion in a given
application. Both the harmonic distortion of Danfoss
frequency converters as well as non-Danfoss frequency
converters with different additional harmonic reduction
measurements, such as Danfoss AHF filters and
12-18-pulse rectifiers, can be calculated.
