As we shift towards more sustainable energy solutions, some technologies that play a major role in the transition may be overlooked. One such technology is the Active Harmonic Filter (AHF). AHFs not only improve power quality and efficiency in electrical systems and provide substantial enhancements to operation efficiency, but also offer environmental benefits.

Introducing the latest range of custom-built Active Harmonic Filters from Quality Energy. These filters are proudly manufactured in our hub located in Moorabbin, Victoria. We utilise premium modules from global manufacturers to create filters that exceed the highest Australian standards. Our filters are built to last and equipped with various performance features.

Amid the rising costs of doing business, it is essential for Australian businesses to optimise every aspect of operations to make the most of every dollar. Power quality, often overlooked, is a hidden factor that significantly impacts both productivity and costs. Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) are a solution that not only enhances power quality but also offers tangible economic benefits. This article explores the return on investments (ROI) when implementing AHFs, highlighting the financial gains Australian businesses can achieve over time by prioritising power quality improvement.

Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) are one of the most effective solutions for enhancing power quality and optimising energy consumption. However, the journey to reap the full benefits of AHFs doesn't stop after design. Proper installation, regular upkeep, and meticulous maintenance all play a pivotal role in ensuring these devices' longevity and sustained performance. In this article, we share a comprehensive guide to installing, maintaining, and caring for AHFs, enabling Australian businesses to maximise their investment and enjoy uninterrupted power quality improvements.

In Australia, the AS/NZS61000.3.3 standard governs the acceptable level of harmonic voltage distortion and aligns with the IEEE519 guidelines. If your power supplier or distributor is dissatisfied with the amount of voltage distortion at the point of common coupling (PCC), they may require harmonic filtering to comply with Australian standards. Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) have emerged as a solution that not only enhances power quality but also helps industries adhere to regulatory requirements in Australia. This article dives into the regulatory landscape surrounding power quality in the country and explores how AHFs serve as an indispensable tool for businesses aiming to ensure compliance, sidestep penalties, and reduce energy costs.

As businesses strive to optimise their operations and reduce costs, power quality emerges as a critical factor in the demand for reliable and efficient energy supply. Active Harmonic Filters, or AHFs, not only enhances power quality but also offer a pathway to substantial energy efficiency and cost savings. In this article, we explore how Active Harmonic Filters can revolutionise energy consumption by improving your power quality and contributing to a more energy-efficient future.

As our electronic devices are powered to be smaller, faster, and more efficient in production terms, the electronic components embedded within these devices also create unwanted distortion within the electricity network. This distortion (or ‘harmonics’) affects the correct functioning of most of the connected equipment. What are Harmonic Voltages? Harmonic voltages (harmonics) result from the…

According to Clean Energy Council Australia, electricity generation is Australia’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, and taking action now to accelerate the transition to a clean energy future will lessen the volatility in our climate. Beyond the serious threats that greenhouse gas emissions pose to our planet, organisations are now seeing the material risks…
