Nowadays, it is crucial to use energy-efficient electrical consumers in oil and gas, marine and offshore applications, including such as variable speed drives for motor control. These modern technologies contribute significantly to the reduction of electrical energy consumption; however, as an unwanted byproduct of their operation they can negatively affect the power quality.

ECOsine^® Active harmonic filters deliver a reliable remedy. They provide the system with an opposing corrective current immediately, compensating harmonics, phase shift and load-unbalance at the same time. They dynamically adapt to changing grid and load situations, providing an optimum compensation performance at all times. 

The Schaffner Group has successfully completed the rigorous third-party testing by Germanischer Lloyd for the new active harmonic filters with the designation FN 3420-100-480-3-GL and FN3420-120-480-3-GL.The new filters meet the needs of oil & gas, marine and offshore applications and enable safe, reliable and enhanced performance in versatile projects and operations. Together with the well-known compact design and high reliability ECOsine^® Active is now also the ideal choice in this range of challenging applications.
