Typical Problems, Superior Solutions with H5 Filters
Power quality had degraded over time due to the increased
use of non-linear loads. The IEEE-519 standard for harmonic
distortion was developed to address this problem. Utilities are
now mandating that this standard be followed.
Harmonics and Power Quality
Variable frequency drives and other types of non-linear loads
take the incoming power from the utility and modify it for more
efficient use within a wide range of applications. The conversion
process creates current and voltage distortion.

The H5 Active Line Conditioner
The H5 actively monitors the load current, reacting to changes in
load almost instantaneously, while returning true power factor to
near unity:
• Virtual real time correction of the non-linear current
• Synchronization of the current and voltage waveforms
• Always attempting to achieve unity power
• Never allowing for leading power factor

If non-linear loads represent a significant portion of the entire
installed load, this distortion begins to cause problems
throughout the electrical system:
• Transformer and distribution equipment overheating
• Random breaker tripping
• Sensitive equipment may fail completely
• Poor power factor

Meeting IEEE-519 Recommendations on Harmonics
The H5 active filter provides a cost effective, efficient solution
allowing the user to meet IEEE-519 requirements. Using
harmonic analysis software, TCI can help customers meet IEEE519. Typical applications include:
• Wastewater treatment plants
• Commercial buildings
• Hospitals
H5 Filters v. Other Harmonic Solutions
The H5 active filter can be a better overall system solution when
compared to large, expensive 18 pulse VFD’s or multiple passive
drive-applied filtering:
• Save money
• Save space
• Reduce energy losses
Bus-Applied Configuration for MCC or Switchboard
This bus-applied filter design can be directly connected to the
power bus in standard MCC and Switchboard configurations. As
with other bus-applied designs, impedance must be installed on
the load side of the H5 filter.
