Eliminating Harmonics at the Design Stage

Harmonics mitigation is most cost-effective when "designed in". Mitigation in existing installations is possible but more than likely to cost significantly more without the performance of an "ab initio" approach.

Is 5% THID achievable with a passive solution? Absolutely!

If you need to achieve a 5% THID result in a drive environment, is your only option an Active Filter? Till recently, the answer was ‘yes’. However MTE have recently released a new passive harmonic filter, the Matrix AP........

Fuseco acquires Startco

We are pleased to announce that on the 5th February 2020, Fuseco acquired Startco, based in Noosa, Queensland and are now the Australian distributors for Littelfuse Protection Relays and accessories.

What is IEEE519?

The IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE 519 is a document that was initially published in 1981 titled "Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems". The document established levels of voltage distortion acceptable to the distribution system and has been widely applied in establishing needed harmonic correction throughout the electrical power industry.

Choosing the right fuse 'speed'

If you've ever had to replace a fuse, you may have realised that there's a few different fuse speeds. In simple terms, 'fuse speed' tends to refer to the time between the moment that an overcurrent begins and the moment the fuse arcs and opens the circuits.

Passive filters vs Active filters. Which one to use?

When it comes to mitigating harmonics to comply with Australian Standards for harmonic distortion, the two main technologies that are commonly applied are Passive Harmonic Filters (PHF) and Active Harmonic Filters (AHF). With such effective options at our disposal, the common question asked is “Which one do I use?”
