AHF & SVG Power Quality Solutions

AHF & SVG Power Quality Solutions

Power quality made simple for Office Buildings, Schools & Crypto Mining Farms — reduce harmonics, correct power factor, stabilize voltage, and unlock capacity.

Clean power for reliable operations and measurable ROI.

Why Power Quality Matters

Harmonics, low power factor (PF), voltage fluctuations, and three‑phase unbalance increase losses, cause overheating, trigger nuisance trips, and shorten equipment life. Fixing these issues quickly reduces penalties, improves energy efficiency, and frees 10–30% extra capacity on existing infrastructure.
  • Lower energy and demand charges; fewer penalties
  • Cooler transformers/cables; fewer trips and downtime
  • Better performance for VFDs, UPS, LEDs, and sensitive loads
  • Supports compliance with IEEE 519 / GB/T 14549 objectives

Our Solutions at a Glance

AHF — Active Harmonic Filter

Targeted harmonic mitigation for non‑linear loads (e.g., VFDs, SMPS, LEDs). Typical THDi reduction to ≤5–8% with proper sizing.
  • Best for: Harmonics‑dominant sites
  • Response: ms‑level dynamic injection
  • Efficiency: typically ≥97%

APF — Active Power Filter

All‑in‑one: harmonics + reactive power + three‑phase unbalance. PF up to 0.99, neutral current reduction, voltage stability support.
  • Best for: Mixed issues with PF/unbalance
  • Response: sub‑cycle control
  • Scalable: modular parallel design

SVG — Static VAR Generator

Fast, precise reactive power compensation (lag/lead) to 0.99 PF. Helps mitigate flicker and stabilizes feeders.
  • Best for: PF penalties and voltage stability
  • Response: real‑time, ms‑level
  • Integration: Modbus RTU/TCP

FAQ

Will this help me meet IEEE 519 at the PCC?We size and configure the solution to your specified limit (e.g., THDi ≤5–8% at the PCC), subject to proper installation and verified site measurements.
AHF vs SVG — which is most cost‑effective?If harmonics dominate, choose AHF. If you also need PF and unbalance correction, choose APF. If PF is the main issue, SVG typically offers the best value.
Can I start small and expand?Yes. Our modular systems parallel seamlessly, so you can start with a smaller capacity and scale with load growth.
How long does installation take?Many projects complete within hours to a few days depending on switchgear, cable runs, and commissioning scope.
What maintenance is required?Minimal routine checks (filters, airflow, connections). Remote diagnostics and predictive alerts are available.
Noise considerations for offices/schools?Typical cabinet noise is 55–65 dB depending on rating and cooling; placement and ventilation design help meet acoustic targets.
