Active Harmonic Filters

Shaping electrical power!

The new modular Schaffner ECOsine™ series offers fitted and economical solutions for the most demanding harmonic mitigation challenges with any kind of non-linear load involved. Ecosine active sync filter series provides a solution concept which is modular, compact and can be used as stand-alone modules or as system solution. The optional sync module offers a smart load Management of the filter’s usage and allows redundancy which guarantees a smart power quality solution in the era of Industry 4.0. We provide active harmonic filters with excellent performance in solving power quality problems focusing on customer needs and application demands for cleaner and smarter energy. 

Active Harmonic Filters

Schaffner ECOsine™ benefits and field of applictaion

Schaffner ECOsine™ active harmonic filters provide the followings: 

  • Most effective harmonic mitigation up to the 50th order, parameter setting for even and odd harmonics
  • Compact active harmonic filter for 3-phase loads with and without neutral wire
  • <5% THDi achievable even on most complex mixed loads and changing load profiles
  • New modular desig modular design with intelligent system approach offering tailored solutions for different applications and customers
  • Long-term savings in the area of system operation and maintenance
