Power Quality Protection
Protect Your Electrical Systems With Expert Harmonic Filter Solutions
Most businesses are paying more for their energy than they should be. Not because they are using too much power, but because their electrical system is not converting it efficiently. This hidden inefficiency is called poor power factor, and it is one of the most common and costly problems in commercial and industrial electrical systems.
Poor power factor drives up your energy bills, puts unnecessary strain on your electrical infrastructure and can even result in financial penalties from your energy provider. The frustrating part is that most businesses have no idea it is happening until someone points it out.
Power factor correction is the solution. It is a straightforward, cost-effective way to improve the efficiency of your electrical system, reduce your energy costs and protect your infrastructure from the long-term effects of poor power quality.
Our team at 24-7 Critical Power Solutions has been helping commercial, industrial, government, defence and healthcare clients across NSW, ACT and throughout Australia improve their electrical efficiency for decades. Based in Marchmont, New South Wales, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we bring the experience, expertise and commitment to quality that every power factor correction project deserves.
Everything You Need to Eliminate Harmonic Distortion and Restore Clean, Stable Power Quality
We offer a complete range of harmonic filter services designed to identify and suppress harmonic distortion in your electrical system, protect your equipment and restore clean, stable power quality across your facility.
Harmonic Distortion Assessment
Before we recommend a solution, we carry out a thorough assessment of your electrical system to measure the level and nature of harmonic distortion present, identify the equipment contributing to the problem and determine the most effective approach to managing it. This gives you a clear understanding of what is happening in your system and a practical roadmap to fixing it.
Harmonic Filter System Design
We design harmonic filter systems tailored to the specific characteristics of your electrical system and your operational requirements. Every system we design is correctly sized, specified to meet Australian power quality standards and built to deliver lasting improvements to your power quality and equipment protection.
Harmonic Filter Installation
Our skilled and fully trained team manages the complete installation of your harmonic filter system from start to finish. We make sure your system is properly commissioned, thoroughly tested and delivering the power quality improvements your operation needs before we leave the site.
Harmonic Filter Maintenance
Harmonic filter systems need regular maintenance to keep performing effectively over the long term. Our ongoing maintenance programs are designed to keep your system in peak condition, catch potential issues early and make sure your equipment and infrastructure remain protected.
Harmonic Filter Testing and Compliance
We carry out thorough testing and compliance checks to confirm your harmonic filter system is operating correctly and meeting current Australian power quality and electrical safety standards. You get the documentation you need and the peace of mind that your system is doing its job.
Everything You Need to Know About Harmonic Filters
How do I know if harmonic distortion is affecting my electrical system?
Common signs include overheating cables and equipment, nuisance tripping, interference with sensitive electronics and higher than expected energy bills. If your business runs variable speed drives, computers, servers or LED lighting and you are experiencing any of these issues, harmonic distortion may be the cause. A professional assessment is the most reliable way to find out.
What is the difference between a passive harmonic filter and an active harmonic filter?
Passive filters use fixed components to target specific harmonic frequencies and work best where harmonic loads are predictable. Active filters use advanced electronics to dynamically cancel distortion as it occurs, making them better suited to variable harmonic environments. In some cases, a combination of both delivers the best result for your system.
Can harmonic distortion damage my power factor correction equipment?
Yes. Power factor correction capacitors are particularly sensitive to harmonic frequencies and can overheat, degrade and fail prematurely when exposed to high levels of distortion. If your business has both power factor correction equipment and sources of harmonic distortion, we can design an integrated solution that protects your entire electrical infrastructure.
Will installing a harmonic filter disrupt my business operations?
In most cases, installation can be carried out with minimal disruption to your operations. The extent of any disruption depends on the size and complexity of the installation. We manage the entire process and work with you to schedule the work in a way that minimises impact on your business.
Do harmonic filters require ongoing maintenance?
Yes. Passive filters can degrade over time without proper care, while active filters contain electronic components that need regular inspection and servicing. Our preventative maintenance programs keep your harmonic filter system in peak condition, catch issues early and make sure your equipment and power quality stay protected over the long term.
