Harmonics & Load Balancing
Modern commercial and industrial systems are filled with non-linear loads like LED lighting, VFDs, UPS systems, and computers that introduce harmonics into your power system. These distortions often go undetected by traditional inspections but can severely impact the performance, reliability, and lifespan of your equipment.
At SineWave Solutions Ltd., we specialize in Harmonics Analysis and Mitigation. Using advanced diagnostic equipment and over 30 years of electrical expertise, we uncover harmonic issues and implement solutions that protect your systems, improve efficiency, and reduce costly downtime.

What Are Harmonics?
Harmonics are voltage or current waveforms at frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental frequency (60Hz). When these distorted waveforms enter your electrical system, they can cause:
-
Overheating of transformers and motors
-
Nuisance tripping of circuit breakers
-
Damage to sensitive electronics
-
Reduced power factor and increased utility charges
-
Insulation failure and premature equipment wear
You may not see harmonics—but your equipment certainly feels the impact.
Our Harmonic Services Include
Harmonic Distortion Testing
We measure Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), voltage, and current waveforms to identify whether harmonic levels exceed acceptable limits.
Root Cause Identification
Our experts determine where and why the harmonics are being generated—whether it’s VFDs, lighting, inverters, or even external grid conditions.
Load Balancing & Filtering
We can advise on custom strategies like passive/active harmonic filters, phase balancing, and transformer adjustments to reduce distortion at its source.
Power Factor Correction Integration
In many cases, harmonic mitigation can be combined with power factor correction for dual benefits: energy savings and improved power quality.
Detailed Reporting & Recommendations
We provide a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report showing your current harmonic profile, risks, and corrective actions.
Why Harmonic Analysis Matters
Left untreated, harmonics can silently degrade your system—resulting in:
- Increased Maintenance Costs
- Unexpected Equipment Failures
- Safety Risks (Overheating, Fires)
- Higher Utility Bills & Demand Charges
- Lost Productivity Due to Downtime
Our approach identifies and corrects the real issues behind flickering lights, tripping breakers, or overheating systems fast.
Stop Letting Harmonics Undermine Your Operation
If your facility is experiencing unexpected failures, rising energy costs, or unexplained power issues, harmonics may be the hidden culprit. Let SineWave Solutions get to the root of the problem and deliver long-term electrical health.
