Energy costs are a significant expense for any business. As the world becomes more reliant on technology and power usage increases, businesses are looking for ways to reduce their energy bills. One-way businesses are cutting costs with harmonic filters. Harmonic filters are a simple but effective way of reducing energy consumption, prolonging the life of electronics, and reducing noise disruptions in your electrical system. In this blog post, we will explore how businesses are using harmonic filters to save on energy costs.
Firstly, to understand how harmonic filters work, we need to understand what harmonics are. Harmonics result from the non-linear loads that modern electronics and appliances put on electrical systems. These loads draw variable energy and create noise and heat. The harmonic filter is installed in the breaker box and reduces heat and disruptive noise (current harmonics) from the system. By reducing these harmonics, businesses can reduce electricity consumption, prolong the life of electronics, and reduce noise disruptions.
Secondly, we need to recognize that all modern electronic and electrical devices create harmonics. This includes any electronic device that converts AC power to DC power (high frequency). Devices like computers, monitors, printers, copiers, and even LED lighting. The list is endless. This means that every business, no matter what industry you are in, is open to the significant cost savings that harmonic filters offer.
Thirdly, the installation of harmonic filters is simple. Every Tune® device comes with an installation manual, and there is even a simple installation video available online. However, businesses are encouraged to use certified electricians to ensure that the installation is safe and successful. Investing in a certified electrician is worth the cost to protect your assets and prolong the life of your electrical systems.
Fourthly, the benefits of installing harmonic filters are endless. By reducing current harmonics, harmonic filters can prevent voltage fluctuations and overheating of transformers. Harmonic filters also help to reduce energy bills by reducing reactive power. By improving the power factor, businesses can reduce electrical losses and improve power quality. Moreover, harmonic filters can improve the longevity of electrical systems and reduce downtime due to equipment failure, reducing maintenance costs.
In conclusion, harmonic filters are a simple and effective way for businesses to reduce energy costs, improve power quality, and prolong the lifespan of electrical systems. As technology becomes more prevalent in the workplace, businesses will continue to rely on more and more electronic devices. As a result, harmonic filters will become increasingly important in reducing energy usage, reducing maintenance costs, and improving the safety and reliability of electrical systems. If you want to save on energy costs and protect your assets in the long-term, installing harmonic filters is a smart decision.
