The AIM Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) is a proven technology to isolate
harmonic current and protect equipment from damage due to harmonic
voltage and current distortion. AIM filters are the most technically
advanced and effective solution in reducing the total harmonic current
distortion to below 5%, in line with IEEE 519 (1992) or UK Engineering
Recommendation G5/4 harmonics standard.
The AIM Filter incorporates all of the following:-
Harmonic mitigation;
Reactive current control;
Load side transient suppression;
Load side surge suppression;
Reduces the effect of supply sags and surges (flicker).
How the AIM Filter works:-
The AIM filter continuously monitors the harmonic current demanded
by the load and generates an adaptive waveform which matches exactly
the shape of the non linear portion of the load current.
AIM injects this adaptive current into the load at the point of
connection. Only fundamental (50Hz) current is drawn from the source
by the load.
Compensates from the 2nd to the 51st harmonic in a response time
of less than 100 micro-seconds.
