Active Harmonic Filter AHF 80A 400V Paper Mill Cabinet for Winder Drive Harmonic Filtering

ND-AHF-80-400-C is a floor standing cabinet rated 80 A at 400 V AC (3P4W) built for paper mills. It removes harmonic current at the point where the non-linear load connects, so the distortion stops at the source instead of spreading through upstream switchgear, transformers and generators.

Winder and press drives change speed continuously, so the harmonic spectrum drifts with line speed and the tracking loop must keep up with it.

The unit measures the load current continuously and injects an equal and opposite compensation current, so the grid current returns to a near sinusoidal shape while the load keeps running unchanged. Reactive power compensation and three-phase unbalance correction can be enabled on the same hardware, which means one Active Harmonic Filter AHF can replace a combination of capacitor banks, detuned reactors and balancing equipment.

Main technical characteristics of this 80 A 400 V Active Harmonic Filter AHF:

• Fast Dynamic Tracking
  Detection happens within microseconds, so compensation follows welding, crane and press loads that change cycle by cycle.
• Industrial Control Chip with 16-bit AD
  A 16-bit analog front end keeps the compensation current accurate even when the load current carries steep, high-order distortion.
• Residual THDi Below 5%
  After compensation the grid current distortion is normally held under 5%, in line with IEEE 519 and GB/T 14549 recommendations.
• Integrated HMI with Event Log
  The LCD panel shows voltage, current, THDi, power factor and module status, with event records for fast diagnosis.
• Modular Plug-in Architecture
  Power modules slide in and out for maintenance, cutting mean time to repair during planned shutdowns.
• Two Sets of External CT Terminals
  Both CT input sets can be assigned to different feeders, which simplifies retrofit wiring inside existing switchgear.
• Complete Internal Protection Chain
  Over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, phase-loss and short-circuit protection act without external relays.
• Low Auxiliary Power Loss
  Auxiliary consumption stays a small fraction of rated current, so the unit does not become a new heat source in the room.

This Active Harmonic Filter AHF is normally installed on the following loads:

• Winder and rewinder drives
• Press section and dryer section drives
• Pulp refiner motors
• Coating and calendar drives
• Mill 400V auxiliary boards

Reasons buyers select our Active Harmonic Filter AHF for projects in paper mills:

• Project-Specific Engineering
  Capacity, voltage class, CT ratio, cabinet colour and communication protocol are configured against your single line diagram instead of being taken from a catalogue page.
• Selection and Survey Support
  Our engineers review your harmonic measurement, calculate the required compensation current and issue a written selection report before you place an order.
• Full-Load Aging before Packing
  Every Active Harmonic Filter AHF runs a 24-hour full-load aging cycle and is inspected against its test record before shipment.
• One-Stop Power Quality Supply
  AHF, SVG, intelligent capacitors, reactors and controllers come from the same factory, so interfaces and protocols match across the whole compensation room.
• Spare Parts after Warranty
  Fans, control boards, CTs and power modules remain available at reasonable cost once the warranty period ends.

Typical configuration of model ND-AHF-80-400-C. Voltage class, current rating, CT ratio and enclosure can be adapted to your single line diagram.
