Matrix AP Passive Harmonic Filter
MTE Corporation announces, the Matrix® AP Passive Harmonic Filter. The Matrix AP,
available from 6A to 1200A, is an extension of our Matrix line of harmonic filters
and is compatible with generator systems. Using
Adaptive Passive Technology (Patent Pending), the
Matrix AP achieves better THID performance over
a wider load range. This design removes the need
for resistors and utilizes high current capacitors on
units above 103A and a single three phase capacitor
on units 103A and below. This significantly reduces
product wiring and increases product reliability. As
with all Matrix filters, a contactor option is available to remove the capacitors from
the circuit. Components are designed to be field serviceable with standard component
layout for ease of field wiring.
