Cómo se calculó
- · Potencia reactiva: Qc = P × (tanφ₁ − tanφ₂).
- · Corriente armónica: Ih = I₁ × THDi%.
- · Frecuencia de resonancia LC: f_res = f₁ ÷ √(p), donde p es el factor de desintonización (6% → ≈204 Hz, 7% → ≈189 Hz, 12.5% → ≈141 Hz).
- · Verificación de desintonización: la rama es inductiva (sin amplificación) cuando el armónico dominante está por encima de f_res.
- · Tensión del condensador con reactor: Vc = V ÷ (1 − p).

Preguntas frecuentes
What harmonic limits does IEEE 519 impose?
IEEE 519 limits total demand distortion (TDD) at the point of common coupling, typically 5% for systems below 69 kV, with individual harmonic limits (e.g. 5th/7th capped around 4%). Stricter limits apply where the short-circuit ratio is low. The calculator sizes filtering to meet these limits.
What is the difference between a passive and active harmonic filter?
A passive filter is a tuned LC circuit (often a detuned capacitor bank) that traps a specific harmonic; cheap but fixed. An active harmonic filter (APF) injects a cancelling current dynamically, handling multiple and varying Harmonics at 2-4x the cost. The calculator recommends detuned banks for steady harmonics and APF for dynamic loads.
Why do VFDs cause harmonics?
VFD rectifiers draw current in pulses rather than a sine wave, generating 5th, 7th, 11th and 13th harmonics (6-pulse drives). A 6-pulse VFD can produce 30-40% THDi at the drive terminals; 12- or 18-pulse and active-front-end drives reduce it. The calculator models the harmonic source share.
What detuning factor protects a capacitor bank from resonance?
A 7% series Reactor detunes the capacitor bank below the 5th harmonic so the bank never resonates with the network at 250 Hz. A 6% reactor is used when only the 5th harmonic is significant; 7% is the default for networks with 5th and higher harmonics. The calculator applies the detuning factor.
How do I estimate the harmonic filter kVAR needed?
The filter kVAR is based on the non-linear load share and the required distortion reduction. As a rule of thumb, size detuned capacitors to 25-35% of the VFD load, and an APF to 15-25% of the harmonic-producing load. The calculator estimates the compensation and filter rating from the load mix.
