Indigenous harmonic filter optimizing power grids in Iran

An Iranian knowledge-based company has produced a harmonic filter that eliminates distortion caused by excess currents in and out of electrical appliances, thus preventing damage. 

Reza Danaei Ahmadi, a member of the Board of Directors at FanAvaran Dana Company, pointed out that it is vital to remove the unwanted harmonics in power systems by using a harmonic filter, adding that failing to do so will cause irreparable damage and huge costs. 

Harmonic filters are circuits designed to block harmonic currents by reducing the harmonic currents flowing in the power systems from the source and reducing the harmonic voltage distortion in the system, he explained.

Ahmadi added the most important feature of the Iranian-made harmonic filter is that it is more appropriate for the existing networks in Iran, whereas foreign products are not suitable for the country’s electricity network and can cause damage to the systems. 

He also boasted that the achievement has created new job opportunities for Iranians and prevents capital flight in this field.
