Another term often encountered in literature is the partial weighted harmonic distortion (PWHD). PWHD represents a weighted harmonic distortion that contains only the harmon- ics between the 14th and the 40th, as shown in the following definition: ® MG.80.C3.02 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark...

Thus the active solution can mitigate the real-time harmonic disturbances, which makes these solutions very effective at any load profile. To read more about the Danfoss active solutions Low Harmon- ic Drive (LHD) or Active Filters (AAF) please see MG.34.Ox.yy and MG.90.Vx.yy.
AHFs are available in two variants for two performance levels: approximately 14 %, compared to 10 % at the nominal load of AHF005 with 5 % THiD (total current harmonic distortion) and 34 A. On the other hand, the total harmonic current is only AHF010 with 10 % THiD.
20 and 25 %). The power factor increases with the load. Because of the higher value of the main inductor L0 Illustration 4.1: AHF005 in the AHF005, the power factor is slightly higher than in the AHF010. Following graphs show typical values for the true power factor on AHF010 and AHF005.

AHF must be sized according to the sum of the calculated mains input currents. NOTE If the AHF is sized for a specific load and the motor is changed, the current must be recalculated to avoid overloading the AHF. ® MG.80.C3.02 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark...

In some cases this very dynamic compensation can produce resonances in the DC link and should then be disabled. Typical cases are where AHF005/010 is used on supply grids with high short circuit ratio. Fluctuations can often be recognized by increased acoustical noise and in extreme cases by unintended tripping.
