Active dynamic filtering (ADF)- Harmonic filters

Deviation in voltage and current waveform leads to a shorter lifespan, higher maintenance costs, and unnecessary energy consumption of your equipment. Fortop assists you in commissioning the filter concept so that your installation complies with standards and guidelines.

Which system is needed for your application?

We can also determine which system is needed to solve problems in the installation. A specialist from Fortop ensures the commissioning of the active filters. With a maintenance contract, you are guaranteed a worry-free operation. We have extensive experience in various market segments such as marine & offshore, process industry, data centers, hospitals, and the water world.

The active dynamic filter P100 is the industrial, cost-effective standard for locations where space is limited. The P100 is universally applicable for filtering out harmonic pollution, improving cos-phi and eliminating flicker and unbalance. The filter is suitable for wall mounting and available in different powers up to 150 A in a single unit. The active dynamic filters are modularly expandable up to a maximum of 18 parallel connected systems.

Connect the module to a PLC or SCADA system

"Sensorless control" is possible for filtering out harmonics. It is then not necessary to use current transformers. The unit can be connected to a PLC or SCADA system via the Modbus TCP port or linked to fortop's (remote) monitoring systems. The many approvals such as UL, DNV-GL, ABS and CE make the P100 the ideal active dynamic filter for industrial and offshore applications.

P100 Active Dynamic filter properties:

• Filtering out harmonics, flicker, poor cos-phi and unbalance
• Compensation power @ 480V: 50, 70, 90, 100, 120, 150 A
• Compensation power @ 690V: 90 A
• Power expandable by parallel connection of multiple units
• Web interface and touchscreen color display
• Sensorless control possible (current transformers not required)
• Communication options (I/O, Modbus TCP/UIP, Profibus*)
• IP20/21, in cabinet possible IP54

The ADF P300 is the ideal filter for use in industrial and offshore applications and is suitable for simultaneously eliminating harmonics, unbalance, poor power factor, and flicker. The P300 is supplied in a Rittal cabinet and is available per cabinet in power ratings from 90 to 360 A. By connecting the cabinets in parallel, the power can be expanded. Special versions such as IP43 and IP54, different cabinet colours and models are available on request.

Modules equipped with a Modbus TCP port

For eliminating harmonics, "sensorless control" is possible. With sensorless control, it is unnecessary to use current transformers. The unit can be monitored in PLC or SCADA systems via the Modbus TCP port or connected via fortop's (remote) monitoring systems. The P300's many approvals such as UL, DNV-GL, ABS and CE make it the ideal filter for industrial and offshore applications.

Features of the P300 Active Dynamic Filter:

• Elimination of harmonics, flicker, poor power factor and unbalance
• Compensation capacity @ 480V: 120, 240, 360 A
• Compensation capacity @ 690V: 90, 180 or 240 A
• Power expandable by connecting multiple units in parallel
• Web interface and touchscreen colour display
• Sensorless control possible (current transformers not required)
• Communication options (I/O, Modbus TCP/UIP, Profibus*)
• IP32, in cabinet IP43/IP54 possible

The P200 is one of the fastest active filters in the world. The P200 eliminates harmonics up to the 100th order and is the only filter capable of removing inter-harmonics, resonances, and high-frequency pollution. No current transformers are required for the application of the P200.

One of the fastest active filters in the world

The use of sustainable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines will result in more resonances, inter-harmonics, and high-frequency disturbances. Only the ADF P200 is capable of solving these disturbances.

P200 active dynamic filter features:

• Eliminates harmonics, resonances, and HF pollution
• P200 version is the IP20 solution for wall mounting
• PPM200 is the OEM version suitable for installation in distribution panels
• Compensation capacity: 100 A
• Configuration and reading via web interface
• Sensorless control (application of current transformers not necessary)
