Overview

The TCI HSE0020AW30000 is a HarmonicShield™ (HSE Series) passive harmonic filter designed to mitigate current harmonic distortion in industrial motor systems. The unit features a NEMA Type 3R enclosure for protection against falling rain and sleet, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations in harsh environments. Key specifications include a 31A rated current, 275W power loss, and dimensions of 22.13" height x 20.43" width x 28.50" depth. Weighing 90 lbs, the filter is convection-cooled and maintenance-free, requiring no mechanical adjustments. It is designed as a stand-alone input device to be mounted adjacent to variable frequency drives (VFDs) or similar non-linear loads, reducing harmonics caused by drives and improving system reliability. The HSE0020AW30000 is part of TCI’s HarmonicShield™ series, which supports motor sizes from 3HP to 600HP and voltages up to 600 VAC. Its compact design and UL Type 3R rating make it ideal for industrial applications where harmonic distortion poses risks to equipment performance and longevity.
