64 - Does a harmonic mitigating transformer eliminate all of my harmonics?

• Harmonic Mitigating Transformers: Harmonic mitigating transformers do not eliminate all harmonics but can be used in combination to minimize them with phase shifting on a power system. • Zigzag Transformer Functionality: For 3rd harmonics or triplin harmonics, zig-zag transformers recirculate third harmonic currents back to the loads from the neutral, aiding in the reduction of harmonics on the secondary of the transformer which is different than a delta wye transformer where the triplin harmonics are circulated in the delta. • Harmonic Cancellation: Strategic combinations of transformers, such as pairing delta zigzag with delta Y transformers, can cancel out 5th and 7th harmonics, effectively reducing harmonic currents in the system and making a 12 pulse system. • System Design for Harmonic Reduction: In a commercial building example, using harmonic mitigating transformers strategically can significantly reduce harmonic currents, potentially eliminating the need for additional harmonic filters. Eaton’s Harmonic Frequently Asked Question’s FAQs collection of videos hosted by Dan Carnovale can help individuals from all different levels of education understand what harmonics are and explain many different solutions for mitigating harmonics on an electrical power system. Dan Carnovale P.E. has decades of experience in power quality and harmonics and is a recognized electrical industry expert in power quality and power systems. He is the creator and director of Eaton’s Power Systems Experience Centers (PSEC) in Pittsburgh PA and Houston TX. The PSECs provide visitors live demonstrations of hands-on power quality and harmonic situations and solutions can be seen first-hand in the Power Quality Lab.
