Mirus Lineator

Performance Guarantee

MIRUS guarantees that the LINEATOR™ AUHF will perform as advertised to reduce harmonic distortion caused by AC Variable Speed Drives and other non-linear loads equipped with 3-phase, 6-pulse, diode bridge rectifiers. A properly selected and installed LINEATOR™ will comply with the harmonics regulations adopted by Electricity Ashburton, Network Waitaki, Alpine Energy and Orion Energy.
The Mirus Lineator will:

  1. Reduce Current Total Harmonic Distortion (ITHD), measured at the LINEATOR™ input terminals at full load, to:
    (i.) < 8% when background voltage distortion is < 5% and voltage imbalance is < 3%
    (ii) < 5% when short circuit ratio (Isc/IL), as defined by IEEE Std 519, is < 20 and when background voltage distortion is < 0.5% and voltage imbalance is < 1%
  2. Reduce Current Total Demand Distortion (ITDD), measured at the LINEATOR™ input terminals over its entire operating range, to levels defined in Item 1 above. ITDD is defined as the ratio of ITHD divided by the full load current (peak demand current) of the Lineator™.
  3. Minimize the contribution to Voltage Harmonic Distortion of all VSD’s equipped with the LINEATOR™ to < 5% total and < 3% for individual harmonics, as defined by IEEE Std 519-1992.
  4. NOT become overloaded by other upstream harmonic sources.
  5. NOT resonate with other power system components.
  6. NOT have compatibility problems with engine generator sets properly sized for the load.
