Why Filter Third Harmonics on the Neutral Line? Enhancing Power Quality and Efficiency Introduction Third harmonics, a type of harmonic distortion commonly generated by non-linear loads, frequently flow on the neutral line and create power quality challenges in electrical systems. Left unmanaged, these harmonics can lead to overheating, decreased system efficiency, and equipment dama...
Introduction In today’s world, power quality matters more than ever. You’ve probably heard terms like "Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)" and "Power Factor" thrown around, especially when dealing with electrical systems. But what do they really mean, and how can understanding them improve your system's performance? Let’s break it down. What is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)...
