What Is A Harmonic Filter?

harmonic filter for generator is a device that reduces or mitigates harmonics to tolerable levels. They are typically used to reduce harmonic distortion to levels detailed in IEEE 519 (IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems).
electrical harmonic filter addresses issues in markets such as oil and gas, HVAC, water/wastewater, and mining industries. Failure to address harmonic problems can lead to costly component damage, downtime, or penalties from utility providers.
