Overview

The Hammond Power WAHF1K050A-I Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) is a 480VAC, 50A, 60Hz unit designed to mitigate harmonic distortion in industrial electrical systems. Operating at 98% efficiency or higher, this AHF reduces heat losses to no more than 2% of the unit’s KVAR rating while providing electronically current-limited output at 100% RMS of the system current rating. The NEMA Type 1 gasketed enclosure includes air intake filters and supports wall-mount installation with top or bottom cable entry. A door-interlocked disconnect switch with lockable off-position ensures safe maintenance access. Class T fuses rated at 200,000 AIC provide redundant overload protection. This model supports parallel operation for installations requiring harmonic correction beyond a single unit’s capacity. Ideal for facilities with 3-phase, 3-wire plus ground systems operating at 480VAC, 240VAC, or 208VAC with ±12% to -15% voltage tolerance and 50/60Hz ±5Hz frequency range. The WAHF1K050A-I integrates with modern automation networks via Ethernet/IP communication.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the HPS TruWave Active Harmonic Filter?

The AHF is designed to reduce total demand distortion (TDD) and total harmonic distortion (THD(V)) to levels less than 5%. It also corrects linear displacement and balances incoming three-phase current.

What are the operating voltage and frequency ranges for the AHF?

The AHF operates from an input voltage of 480, 240, or 208 VAC, 3-phase, 3-wire plus ground, with a tolerance of +12%, -15%. It functions with a voltage frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, ±5 Hz.

What is the efficiency of the AHF at full load?

The AHF efficiency is no less than 98% at full load, with heat losses not exceeding 2% of the unit's KVAR rating.

How is overload protection provided for the AHF?

Fuses provide redundant overload protection and are Class T rated at 200,000 AIC. The AHF also has electronic current limiting to 100% of its system current rating.

What type of enclosure is the AHF provided in?

The AHF is supplied in a NEMA Type 1 gasketed enclosure with air intake filters. Larger units (300 amps) are floor-mounted, while smaller units (50-200 amps) are wall-mountable.

Can multiple AHF units be used together?

Yes, multiple AHF units can be paralleled if the harmonic correction needed exceeds the maximum current rating of a single unit. Up to six systems can be paralleled.

What is the Standby/Power Saving function of the AHF?

This function automatically disables the AHF inverter when the monitored load power drops below a user-selected level, saving power or disabling when an alternate input source is used.

How does the AHF handle shutdown and fault conditions?

The AHF can record the last 1,856 reset events and 480 shutdown events, including reasons, dates, and times. It attempts auto-restarts for fault conditions.

What information can be viewed on the AHF's LCD touch screen?

The LCD touch screen displays power quality information (voltage, current, THD, power factor), operating status, and miscellaneous parameters like temperature and DC bus voltage.

Can AHF data be saved or updated via the front panel?

Yes, status history and FDR data can be saved to a flash drive. Firmware can also be updated using a flash drive, without needing a computer.
