Harmonics and Power Quality Harmonics caused by non-linear electrical loads such as variable speed drives, rectifiers, UPS's, computers, TV sets, are a growing problem both for electricity suppliers and users. An example of a line current distortion due to a variable speed drive is shown below. Harmonics can lead to serious problems: overheating of cables, motors and transformers damage to sensitive equipment tripping of circuit breakers blowing of fuses premature ageing of the installation Line current - Initial situation UNFILTERED LINE CURRENT (100A/div) 800 0-800 0 TIME (5MS/div) UNFILTERED SUPPLY CURRENT (% FUNDAMENTAL) 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23 26 29 32 35 38 41 44 47 50 0 HARMONICS The ABB Solution: PQF Power Quality Filter The Power Quality Filter developed by ABB is an active filter offering unprecedented ability to clean the network from harmonics. The PQF eliminates harmonics in a controlled way. It is easy to extend and adapt to changes in the network. Principle of operation The PQF monitors the line current in real time and processes the measured harmonics as digital signals in a high-power DSP (Digital Signal Processor). The output of the DSP controls PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) power modules that through line reactors inject harmonic currents with exactly the opposite phase to those that are to be filtered.

PQF : The Ultimate Step in Filtering Efficiency As shown below, the net effect of the installation of a PQF is an elimination of the harmonics and a clean sine wave as seen by the feeding transformer. The overall performance and power of the concept relies on optimally designed IGBT power modules used to the particular needs of an active filter application. The flexibility and accuracy of the PQF is due to a closed loop control system incorporating additional microprocessor capability in addition to the main DSP. The PQF is usually directly connected to the LV network. Solutions for higher voltages are also available.
