Description
GY-AHF-Cabinet Active Harmonic Filter Overview
System Diagram

The GY-AHF-Cabinet is a cabinet-type Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) mainly consisting of AC distribution, an AHF module, a monitoring system and auxiliary components, supporting AC220V to AC800V grids with rated compensation current from 100A to 900A. This active harmonic filter connects a voltage source inverter to the grid in parallel through a filter; by detecting the load current in real time and using a specified sub-harmonic current detection algorithm, it gradually separates the harmonic current and drives the IGBT to output a compensation current with the same amplitude and opposite phase as the load harmonic current, achieving harmonic compensation.
Working Principle
The device connects a voltage source inverter in parallel to the power grid through a filter. By detecting the load current in real time and using a specified sub-harmonic current detection algorithm, the harmonic current is gradually separated. According to the set filtering percentage, a control signal is generated to drive the IGBT to output a compensation current with the same amplitude and opposite phase as the load harmonic current.
Key Features
- Digital Control Core — DSP+CPLD full-digital control core, three-level topology, advanced harmonic detection algorithm and PWM control strategy.
- Modular Design — multiple modules connected in parallel, small footprint and easy maintenance.
- Structural Design — independent air duct and independent plate compartment for stable operation.
- Current Limiting — 100% current limiting output can be set for long-term stable operation.
- Selectable Modes — harmonic compensation only, or harmonic compensation + three-phase unbalance compensation.
- Harmonic Capability — compensation rate ≥95% for 2nd to 50th harmonics, individual rate adjustable.
Protection
Integrated protection covers overload, software/hardware overcurrent, grid overvoltage/undervoltage, grid voltage unbalance, power supply failure, overtemperature, frequency anomaly and short circuit protection. Overload capability is rated at 1.2 times for 60 seconds.
Installation
Vertical installation with upper-line and lower-line cable entry. Protection rating is IP20 (IP54 customizable), cooling by forced air, and noise level ≤75dB.
Applications
Suitable for industrial and commercial power grids requiring harmonic mitigation and three-phase load balancing, particularly systems with nonlinear loads that generate significant harmonic current.
