SNA-AHF series active harmonic filter is a new type of power quality improvement production for dynamically filtering harmonics and compensating reactive power. It can filter and compensate harmonic (variable in orders and frequency) and dynamic reactive power in real time. It is used to overcome the shortcomings of conventional harmonic suppression and reactive power compensation methods such as passive harmonic filters, and achieve the harmonic filtering function and reactive power compensation function of the system.
SINAVA POWER is a professional Active Harmonic Filter supplier, providing intelligent harmonic mitigation solutions to improve power quality, reduce harmonic distortion, and ensure stable electrical system performance for industrial, commercial, and utility applications.
SINAVA POWER's Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) is an advanced solution designed to address harmonic distortion in power systems, ensuring a stable and high-quality electrical environment. The AHF is a highly efficient and flexible tool for mitigating harmonic interference, suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. This active filter continuously monitors the load current and rapidly reacts to the changes in power system distortion, injecting corrective currents to neutralize unwanted harmonics from the upstream power source.
By deploying this cutting-edge technology, SINAVA POWER AHF ensures improved power quality, with more balanced voltage and current waveforms, and helps to comply with strict harmonic limits. The system can handle compensation up to the 51st order of harmonics, balancing load between phases and the neutral, which results in enhanced operational efficiency.
Key Features of SINAVA POWER Active Harmonic Filter include:
- Harmonic compensation up to the 51st order
- Load balancing across phases and neutral
- Compact design with a three-level topology
- Expandable up to 12 modules in parallel for scalable solutions
- User-friendly 4-inch/7-inch/10-inch Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
- Silent operation ≤65dB(A) for a noise-free environment
- Optional RS485/Ethernet communication for easy integration into existing systems
Application of SINAVA POWER Active Harmonic Filters
Sinava AHF solutions are widely deployed across sectors where power quality is critical:
- Industrial Automation (motors, inverters, variable speed drives)
- Data Centers (sensitive IT loads and UPS systems)
- Commercial Buildings (elevators, HVAC, lighting)
- Renewable Energy Systems (solar inverters, wind turbines)
- EV Charging Infrastructure (fast chargers)
- Hospitals & Airports (clean power requirements)
- Water & Wastewater Treatment Plants
Passive vs. Active Harmonic Filters
Both passive harmonic filters and active harmonic filters (AHF) are used to reduce harmonic distortion and improve power quality in electrical systems. However, they work differently and are suitable for different applications.
Passive harmonic filters use capacitors, inductors, and resistors tuned to specific harmonic frequencies. They are typically designed to eliminate fixed harmonics and are often used in stable electrical environments.
In contrast, active harmonic filters dynamically monitor harmonic currents and inject inverse compensation currents in real time. This allows them to suppress multiple harmonic orders simultaneously and adapt to changing electrical loads.
For modern utility power systems, substations, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities with fluctuating loads, active harmonic filters are generally considered the more flexible and reliable harmonic mitigation solution.
