Silicon carbide technology ensures 60% less power losses than similar filters on the market
The Danfoss Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 delivers exceptional harmonic mitigation, power factor correction, and imbalance compensation in one unit. Utilizing cutting-edge silicon carbide (SiC) switches, it achieves 60% lower power losses compared to other filters on the market, and superior high-order harmonic elimination, ensuring efficient and reliable operation tailored to your needs.
Engineered to mitigate harmonic distortion caused by variable speed drives, the AAF 007 ensures compliance with IEEE 519 and similar international standards. It can be installed upstream for comprehensive system filtering or downstream for targeted drive filtration. The newest-generation SiC switches deliver unparalleled efficiency with a remarkable performance that enables operation at higher switching frequencies beyond the 50th, a feat unmatched by conventional filters.
The AAF 007’s exceptional performance is achieved within a remarkably compact design. Additionally, the filter’s modular capability allows for paralleling multiple units to achieve higher current ratings, offering flexibility and scalability not previously available.
Additionally, the AAF 007’s design helps decrease the building's carbon footprint by requiring less space and contributing to fewer distribution network losses. Its 60% efficiency advantage results in lower heat emissions and reduced need for secondary cooling. The filter can be modeled using the Danfoss MyDrive® Harmonics tool, ensuring precise and optimized sizing and compliance with standards prior to installation.
“The AAF 007 offers enhanced performance, cost savings and environmental benefits compared to other products in the market,” said Ryan Drabek, product marketing manager for the Americas at Danfoss Drives. By integrating SiC technology, the AAF 007 is raising the bar on energy efficiency and sustainability.”
