Harmonics and Standard Capacitors don't mix:
Harmonics are a natural by-product of non-linear loads such as drives (AC and DC), motor soft starters, welders, UPS systems, robotics and other electronic loads.  Harmonics are higher-than-60Hz currents and voltages which are produced by these devices in response to the manner in which they draw current.  As more and more non-linear loads are added to the electrical distribution system, the amount of harmonic current rises.  Harmonics can cause serious problems to arise when standard fixed or automatic PFC capacitors are added to the network.

The Solution:
The simplest method to accomplish power factor correction while maintaining harmonic control is to add the AV600 Capacitive/Inductive Power Factor Correction system.  The AV6000 anti-resonance capacitor bank includes custom designed iron core reactors in series with three phase capacitor modules.  The series capacitor/reactor combination prevents resonance by tuning the network below the first dominant harmonic (usually the 5th or 300hz).  Since three phase networks typically have little or no harmonic current below the fifth, there is no energy available to resonate.  In addition to providing power factor correctionw ithout the risk of resonance, the AV6000 may absorb up to 50% of the 5th harmonic current, depending upon network characteristics.  This has the effect of reducing harmonic voltage distortion, thus improving overall network conditions.
