Harmonic filters for VFD; Device that Mitigates the Harmonic Distortion

Industries like Gas, HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) and oil, wastewater management and metals and mining industries use Harmonic filters for VFD. These filters deal with distortions and make the work easy by mitigating the harmonics to an endurable level. Go through this article for complete information about use of Harmonic filters for VFD.
