What are harmonics?The term “harmonics” refers to the voltage and current harmonic distortion within an AC circuit. Any waveform which is not sinusoidal (complex) can be shown to contain sinusoidal waveforms of integer multiples of the fundamental. In a 50 Hz electrical system, 250 Hz is the 5th harmonic, 350 Hz is the 7th harmonic etc.

Figure 1. Fundamental frequency, harmonics and the sum of harmonics and fundamental

An electrical system supplies power to loads by delivering current at the fundamental frequency. Only fundamental frequency current can provide real power. Current delivered at harmonic frequencies do not deliver any real power to the load.

The percentage of harmonics in a waveform is called THD (total harmonic distortion) and can be further broken up into THVD (total harmonic voltage distortion) and THID (total harmonic current distortion). As the THVD and THID increases, the efficiency of the system is greatly reduced.

Harmonic currents create harmonic voltages and it is the harmonic voltages that cause the problems with other equipment that are connected to the same secondary of the transformer where the harmonic originated.

Harmonics are created by the increased use of non-linear devices such as UPS systems, solid state variable speed motor drives, rectifiers, welders, arc furnaces, fluorescent ballasts, and personal computers. The current drawn by these devices is not proportional to the supplied voltage, and so, such loads are referred to as non-linear loads.

Problems Caused by HarmonicsHigh voltage distortion, current distortion and high neutral-to-ground voltage caused by harmonics can result in equipment failure, production down time and costly repairs to the electrical distribution network.

It is critical that the consumer is aware of the costly problems and hazards associated with high levels of harmonics especially given the dramatic increase in use of non linear devices. These harmonics can greatly impact the electrical distribution network along with all facilities and equipment that are connected.

Main problems associated with harmonics include:

• Largeloadcurrentsintheneutralwiresofa3phasesystem. This can cause overheating of the neutral wires, which can result in a potential fire hazard.

• Interferenceintelecommunicationssystemsandequipment

• Erraticoperationofcontrolandprotectionrelays

• Trippingofcircuitbreakersandotherprotectivedevices

• Failureormalfunctionofcomputers,motordrives,lightingcircuits and other sensitive loads

• Overheatingofstandardelectricalsupplytransformersresultingin costly down time and repairs or replacement of transformer.

• Poorpowerfactor.

• Resonancewhichproducesover-currentsurges.

Harmonic ResonanceResonance occurs when the system reactances (i.e. capacitive and inductive reactance) are equal. Excessive currents will result if the resulting resonant frequency corresponds to the frequency on which electrical energy is present and this will cause serious problems as mentioned above.

Some indicators of resonance include overheating, frequent circuit breaker tripping, irregular fuse operation, capacitor failure, electronic equipment malfunction, flicking lights and telephone interference.

Harmonic Standard CompliancePower utility companies and Australian Standards stipulate maximum harmonic levels which apply at a customer’s PCC (point of common coupling). Generally, the maximum permissible harmonic levels are given in terms of % THVD however to achieve a reduction in THVD, the customer is required to reduce their THID through the use of harmonic mitigation equipment. Commonly, THVD levels are required to be between 5-8%, however this will vary from state to state. IEEE STD 519 (1992) and AS/NZS 61000.3.6 (2001) are two widely used harmonic limit standards, however other standards may also be relevant including AS/NZS 61000.3.2 2007. Please confirm harmonic requirements with your uitility provider. For more information on the following tables please refer to the relevant standard.

Displacement & Total Power FactorThe benefits of harmonic filtering are not limited to preventing equipment failure and conforming to required industry standards, but it can also improves your total power factor.

Total (or true) power factor includes both displacement power factor and distortion power factor and can be defined as:

The Green Star AdvantageDid you know you can now take full advantage of the Green Star Initiative when applying harmonic mitigation? The Green Star initiative rewards businesses for improved power and energy use and through harmonic mitigation businesses will actively reduce peak energy demand. This benefit complies to the Green Star – Ene-5 Peak Energy Demand Reduction opportunity and since harmonics inherently draw unwanted currents, harmonic mitigation means peak energy demand reduction can be achieved. Also relevant is the fact that harmonic mitigation will improve your total power factor (as detailed further below), which results in reducing “wasted work”. For more information on NHP’s Green Star Solution please contact your local NHP branch.

Figure 2. NHP PFC functional tray

where:

PF = power factor THDI = total harmonic distortion current

cos j =

PF= •cos j1

1 + THDI2

Real Power Apparent Power

Referring to the relationship above, by mitigating harmonics, THDI decreases and hence total PF improves. With improved power factor, inductive reactive power, (and by result current draw), from the supply decreases and additional savings in the form of reduced tariffs may be achieved.

Another important consideration is the harmful effects harmonics can have on capacitors, which may be present in the load or where power factor correction (PFC) systems are utilized. Harmonics on the supply cause a higher current to flow in the capacitors. This is a result of the capacitors having lower impedance as the frequency increases. This increase in current flow through to the capacitor will result in additional heating of the capacitor and will reduce its life.

The use of “blocking” reactors are ustilised in NHP PFC systems to protect the capacitors from harmonics as long as THVD is less than 7%. If harmonics levels in the system are greater than this, harmonic filters are a must for the safe and reliable operation of any load containing capacitors.

Harmonic Mitigation SolutionsTraditional solutions to minimize harmonic distortion often involved one of the following methods:

• Over-sizingorde-ratingoftheinstallation

• Speciallyconnectedtransformers

• SeriesReactors

• Tunedpassivefilter

However, the above solutions all presented disadvantages related to exhibiting higher utility costs because of continued poor power factor. Today, the most common forms of harmonic mitigation involve either:

• PassiveHarmonicFiltering

• ActiveHarmonicFiltering

• HybridHarmonicFiltering

Passive Harmonic FilteringPassive filters are series capacitor and reactor resonant circuits ‘tuned’ to present a high impedance path to the fundamental frequency and low impedance path to higher specific frequencies (i.e. 5th - 250Hz, 7th - 350Hz). They are more commonly connected to individual loads in the plant rather than at the point of common coupling (PCC) since they’re application requires consistent loading for effective harmonic mitigation.

Active Harmonic FilteringActive harmonic filtering (AHF) is the process by which harmonic current produced by the load is continuously monitored and an adaptive waveform is then generated which corresponds to the exact shape of the non linear portion of the load current. The AHF introduces this adaptive current into the load at the point of connection and the response time of a Schaffner AHF is 300 μs. Unlike passive harmonic filters, these filters can provide harmonic mitigation under any load conditions up to their rated capacity.

Hybrid Harmonic FilteringHybrid harmonic filtering is the combination of passive and active harmonic filtering. Hybrid harmonic filtering combines the two solutions in situations where the use of passive harmonic filters can be used reliably for static loads of an electrical installation and a smaller active filter can be used to mitigate harmonics generated by the other variable loads. This solution can be both cost and application effective.

Harmonics Filtering Application Example - VSDsMost variable speed drives (VSD’s) operate by using a bridge rectifier to convert the incoming AC voltage into a DC voltage. A capacitor bank is then used to filter out the AC ripple. Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT’s) are used to convert the DC voltage into a controlled voltage and frequency for speed control of the motor.

Although the drive may be of an efficient design for motor control, problems with the AC power line can result due to the way the drive draws the AC current. One problem is due to the fact current cannot flow from the rectifier into the DC bus before the input voltage is greater than the DC bus voltage. As highlighted in figure 4, this only occurs for a very short period of time for each phase. Hence, to transfer the energy required by the motor in such a short period of time, the peak current must be high.

The input current, shown in figure 4, is non-sinusoidal and consists of two discrete pulses per half period. This is an example of a current waveform with a high level of harmonic distortion. Most modern electronic equipment use a bride rectifier power supply similar to that which has been described. These equipment include computers, electronic ballasts VSDs and many more.

Individual harmonic frequencies will vary in amplitude and phase angle, depending on the harmonic source, which may be internal or external to the electrical installation.

Figure 4. 6 –pulse rectifiers inherently draw current in a non-sinusoidal fashion from the grid, creating a current wave rich in harmonics. Harmonic currents flow through system impedance and create harmonic voltages.

ECOsineTM – Passive Harmonic FiltersSchaffner ECOsineTM passive harmonic filters represent an economical solution to the challenge of load-applied harmonic mitigation in three-phase power systems. With features including more compact dimensions to comparable products, quick installation and easily commissioned, the ECOsineTM range of passive harmonic filtering offer customers the ideal passive harmonic mitigation solution.

The filters efficiently reduce the harmonic currents to negligible levels and ensure, that a sine-wave current is drawn from the grid. In the process, they also reduce peak currents and RMS input current, allowing for lower wire cross sections in conductors, smaller fuses, breakers, and transformers. In existing installations, more drives can be used on the same distribution transformer.

Schaffner ECOsineTM harmonic filters are designed for the operation on the line side of power electronic equipment with 6-pulse rectifier front ends in balanced three-phase power systems.

Installation: All filters from FN3410-10-44 to FN3410-110-35 are wall mountable and must be operated vertically. The filters FN3410-150-40 and higher are designed for floor mounting. In order to allow for sufficient air flow all filters must be clear on top and bottom a minimum of 150 mm.

Note: ECOsineTM filters are not designed for single-phase or split-phase applications.

HARMONIC fILTERING

[11]

Passive Harmonic Filter ApplicationECOsineTM filters are suitable for paralleling lower power non-linear loads on a higher power harmonic filter to improve overall system economy. In this case the total expected load power of all connected drives must match the filter.

Figure 5. Lower power non-linear loads in parallel with passive harmonic filter

Figure 6. Passive harmonic filters connected in parallel for larger non-linear loads.

If the expected input power exceeds the rating of the largest available filter, then two filters can be wired in parallel. In this mode of operation, it is recommended to use filters with equal power ratings to ensure correct current sharing.

AC line reactors and/or DC-link chokes are not required when ECOsineTM passive filters are installed. For a new system, this helps to offset a good portion of the harmonic filter cost. If a harmonic filter is added to a drive with an existing AC line reactor, it is recommended to remove the reactor if possible.

ECOsineTM – Active Harmonic FiltersThe latest in active harmonic filter technology, the ECOsineTM Active offers superior performance with numerous advantages over traditional technology. The filters eliminate harmonic currents up to the 50th harmonic, improving power quality and reducing reactive power usage costs.

Some of the key features and benefits of the ECOsineTM Active include:

• Ultra-fast: Responds to disturbances in less than 300μs and eliminates them before they can cause damage

• Super-compact: Each unit provides the highest performance in the most compact package

• Optimised for maintenance: The central modules in the 200 to 300 A industrial models can be removed in less than 15 minutes.

• Suitable for industrial use: With the IP54 protection class the ECOsineTM Active is resistant to dust and other environmental influences

• Numerous Options: The ECOsineTM Active range covers specifications from 30 to 300 A and 400 to 480 V in either 3 or 4-wire technology.

• Adaptive: ECOsineTM Active compensates for individual disturbance patterns in a targeted manner and automatically adapts to changing network topologies.

The ECOsineTM Active’s flexible design allows different size systems to connect in parallel achieving greater compensation current. This is particularly useful when considering future expansion or changes to the electrical networks which increases harmonic levels and requiring greater harmonic mitigation current. These filters can be connected either load or line side, however to combine units in parallel the units must be connected load side.

Once configured with just a few clicks, the preset line current will be permanently measured and all harmonics and phase displacements actively compensated. To achieve this, the ECOsineTM Active calculates the appropriate compensation currents within microseconds, which are then generated and fed into the network. Remote monitoring via PLC or BMS is possible via Modbus over RS485 interface.

Three simple steps to improve power quality

ECOsineTM AHF Parallel OperationThe available compensation current can be increased through parallel operation of several ECOsine™ Active units. In doing so, the current signal from the external current transformers is looped through all the ECOsine™ Active units in accordance with the following schematic.

NOTE: A maximum of five ECOsine™ Active may be operated on one current transformer set due to the maximum power output of the external current transformers. Additional current transformers must be installed if more than five devices are to be operated in parallel. For parallel operation of more than one ECOsine™ Active the current transformers must be installed on load side of the filter.

ECOsineTM Active 30/50A (3 wire) – The compact and easy-to-install filterThe smallest ECOsineTM Active version is ideal for the reliable compensation up to the 50th harmonic, as well as reactive power, in a targeted manner. Due to its compact dimensions and low weight, this filter can be easily installed in any environment. Both wall and cabinet installations are possible offering IP 20 protection as standard with IP 54 optional. Not only space-saving, it is also economical in terms of power loss with only 1300 W. With a response time of under 300 μs in ultra-fast mode, it is also possible to optimally compensate dynamic loads. A higher power level can be easily attained by paralleling up to 5 units.

ECOsineTM Active 30/60A (4 wire) – The solution for building technologyThis ECOsineTM Active version mitigates harmonics on all three phases as well as the neutral wire and is particularly useful for the reliable compensation of the triple harmonics up to the 50th order. This compact package is the ideal system for commercial type installations where switch-mode power supplies and information technology equipment are common sources of harmonic generation.

ECOsineTM Active 100/120 A – The standard for 3 and 4 wire technology is always the perfect fitOnly marginally larger and heavier than the 30/50 A system, the 100 A unit can deal with twice the current. It is the perfect solution for those who need greater performance. The 4 wire unit also allows for compensation on the neutral conductor.

ECOsineTM Active 200/250/300A – The industrial model is a real power packWith up to 300 A of compensating current, this filter remains fully capable for the highest requirements such as large production facilities, like those found in the automotive industry. The cabinet version comes with forced air cooling, as well as internal liquid cooling for the power electronics including an integrated water/air heat exchanger. These powerful units are available in either 3-wire or 4-wire units and come with a protection class of IP 54.
