How would I select the installation location of the AIM Filter?

0

There are two schools of thought about the location of the AIM Filter, but both are right: 1. To locate at the Low Voltage (LV) Point of Common Coupling (PCC). 2. To position the AIM Filter as close to the ‘source’ of the harmonic loads as possible. Option 1 is generally used where the main objective is to prevent the harmonic currents from migrating to the supply network and interfering with other customers on the supply network. Option 2 is the most favoured location as this prevents the harmonics from interfering with other equipment in the same location and operating from the same transformer. In short it ‘captures’ the harmonics at the point of pollution and leaves the remainder of the system network free of harmonics.
