MGE filter aims to up power quality

MGE UPS Systems, a global company with headquarters in France, is extending its range of power solutions to improve power quality with the introduction of CleanWave, a filtering device which "reduces zero sequence harmonics in the neutral".

MGE explains: "Increased non-linear loads on power systems create harmonics that affect all mains-powered equipment and interfere with their operation. Excessive harmonics make it impossible to comply with EMC standards and cause equipment to overheat and...increase electricity consumption."

The new zero sequence harmonic filter, CleanWave, has been introduced as a solution to this type of power supply disturbance. CleanWave is available in 10 models, from 12 kVA to 280 kVA (from 29 A to 722 A neutral current).

These models come in two versions: in the form of a chassis, IP00, for integration into the customer`s own enclosure, and in an IP21 enclosure with meters.
