Lineator™ HP
The Lineator™ High Performance (HP) model is a wide-spectrum passive harmonic filter designed to meet the most stringent power quality demands. Engineered for standard six-pulse adjustable speed drives, this solution achieves superior current distortion mitigation without the cost, complexity, or efficiency losses of active front-end tracking systems.
Technical Overview
The Lineator HP utilizes a purely passive architecture to provide highly reliable, broad-spectrum harmonic filtration for industrial and commercial drive systems.
- Attenuates major harmonic currents generated by variable-speed drives and three-phase, six-pulse rectifier loads.
- Delivers total current harmonic distortion levels of less than 5% to satisfy strict power quality standards.
- Eliminates the operational risks, complex power electronics, and high maintenance requirements of active filters or active front-end drives.
- Operates at high thermal and electrical efficiency, providing utility operating cost savings over alternative systems.
Typical Applications
Mirus high-performance passive harmonic filters are used in facilities that require power-quality compliance and protection for sensitive electronic equipment.
