P2 Power APF continuously measures system current through external current transformers. The controller processes the measured current in real time to identify harmonic, reactive-power and current-unbalance components
Based on the selected compensation mode, the IGBT power converter generates a compensating current and injects it in parallel with the load. The output current is dynamically controlled through a closed-loop control system to reduce harmonic current, improve power factor and correct three-phase current imbalance
When the compensation demand exceeds the available APF capacity, the output is automatically limited to 100% of rated current, ensuring safe continuous operation without overloading the module
Integrated with Alpha, Gamma, Edge, Ultra, and Mini Series power modules to provide intelligent and efficient harmonic mitigation, improved power quality, and reliable system performance
The P2 Power Active Power Filter is designed with a modular architecture that offers flexibility, scalability, and simplified maintenance. It uses advanced high-speed IGBT power electronics with closed-loop current control to deliver efficient harmonic compensation.
A complete APF solution consists of one or multiple modules managed through a 7-inch or 10-inch Human Machine Interface (HMI). Each module operates independently, allowing users to easily increase or decrease system capacity by adding or removing modules according to changing load requirements.
APF modules and the HMI can be integrated into P2 Power’s standard APF cabinets or customized enclosures, with protection levels available according to project requirements.
Available display options include:
- 7-inch Touch HMI
- 10-inch Touch HMI
Cabinet configurations can include:
- MCCB
- SPD
- HMI
- Emergency Stop
- Auxiliary Protection
Cabinets are available with protection ratings including IP30, IP42, IP54, or customized solutions based on application requirements
The P2 Power Wall-Mounted Active Power Filter is designed for applications with lower current ratings where compact installation is preferred
The unit can be directly mounted on the wall, while the HMI is securely installed using a dedicated mounting bracket for convenient operation and protection
Wall-mounted systems are available in IP30, IP42, IP54, or customized enclosure configurations to suit various environmental conditions
The P2 Power PQC Series APF is engineered to deliver outstanding harmonic mitigation and power quality improvement. When properly sized and installed in systems with low background voltage distortion, the APF achieves excellent performance even under full-load conditions.
Typical performance includes:
- Voltage Harmonic Distortion (THDu): Less than 3%
- Current Harmonic Distortion (THDi): Less than 5%
- Power Factor: Up to 0.99 for both leading and lagging loads
- Neutral Current Reduction: Greater than 95%
These performance levels help improve equipment reliability, reduce energy losses, and extend the service life of electrical assets.
