POWER QUALITY - PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONS
Harmonic Filters
Arteche’s broad range of Harmonic Filter Technologies will help to
comply with power quality standards such as IEEE-519 and reduce
current and voltage distortion. Harmonic filters can increase
electrical energy effectiveness by reducing harmonic current and
KVA while maximizing the usable capacity of your power sources.

• Low Pass Harmonic Filters (attenuate all harmonic frequencies)
• Tuned Harmonic Filters (attenuate specific harmonic frequencies)
• SmARTvar™ Dynamic Zero Cross Switching Harmonic Filters
• Active Harmonic Filters (IGBT Technology)
• 12 & 18 Pulse Converter Upgrade Kits - change 6-pulse to 12-p or 18-p
• 1-phase Harmonic Filters (3rd Harmonic or Low Pass Filter)
• Line / Load Reactors (Standard & Heavy Duty)
Meet IEEE-519
Sine Wave dv/dt Filters
Arteche offers a complete range of Sine Wave dv/dt Filters to
protect motors from harsh PWM waveforms and over-voltage
due to reflected waves. Sine Wave Filters are beneficial
wherever long motor cables are required, such as
submersible pumping. Motors receive maximum protection
and achieve extended life because the PWM voltage is
converted back to a sine wave.

Power Factor Correction
Arteche capacitor systems improve the power factor,
reduce KVA demand and reduce electricity costs.
Improving low power factor can increase electrical energy
effectiveness by reducing reactive current and KVA while
maximizing the usable capacity of your power sources.

POWER QUALITY
Capacitors can reduce energy costs, Improve power
factor and Increase power system capacity!
Inductive loads can demand large amounts of reactive power and reduce overall facility power
factor. The full load power factor of individual motors can range from 0.60 to 0.93 and drops
steadily as the load is reduced. Since many motors are de-rated or operate well below full load
conditions, typical power factors may be much lower than stated on the motor nameplate.
When capacitors are added to motors, the capacitor supplies the reactive power needs of
the motor instead of the facility, thus improving power factor at this point and upstream of it.
ARTECHE PQ capacitors improve the power factor, save energy and reduce electric bills. By
reducing the reactive power demand, they can make additional capacity available from
existing transformers.

CPRTM Capacitor Protection Reactors
Specially designed Capacitor Protection Reactors are available for all Arteche PQ power
factor correction capacitors and capacitor systems. These reactors block harmful harmonic
currents from entering the capacitor and protect the capacitor against dielectric piercing
transient over-voltages. Add CPR to your capacitors and we’ll increase the warranty period
from the standard one year period to three (3) years.
