Distortion at multiples of 50/60 Hz adds current that does no work. It turns to heat in your cables, motors and transformers.

01 / The problemIEEE 519-2022
Inside Your Electrical Network
Clean power enters your facility at 50/60 Hz. By the time it reaches your equipment, harmonic distortion, reactive power and unbalance have turned up to 20% of it into waste heat — and you're billed for every watt.
Power factor0.85
Current that does no work but still has to be supplied. It inflates apparent power, capacity charges and power-factor penalties.
Current imbalance · one board25%
Single-phase loads pull the three phases off their marks, the dotted arrows. The difference flows down the neutral (N) and sets up counter-rotating fields in motors: heat without torque.

Distortion starts at your equipment and spreads through every feeder, busbar and transformer to the meter. HarmoniQ stops it where it starts, so the same machines draw less power.

No saving is modelled for an alternative: its correction stops at the main board, and everything behind it carries the same current.

Only the first of these is energy. The other two are charges that fall away with it — which is why the total can exceed the energy saving.

10–20%
Energy · kWh
Fewer kilowatt-hours for the same output. Wasted current stops being converted to heat, so the meter records less. This is the figure our performance guarantee is written against.
Eliminated
Power-factor penalties
Power factor is corrected to 0.98 or better across the network, so reactive-power penalty charges fall away entirely where your utility levies them.
Reduced
Capacity charges
Correction frees apparent power, letting a site lower its agreed capacity instead of paying for headroom it never uses.
Up to 25% off your total electricity bill.
Typically 10–20%, and about 25% where all three lines apply. Quoted against your invoices; guaranteed against normalised consumption.
Estimate your own site05 / Extended asset lifeIEEE Arrhenius rule
Extended Asset Life
Less heat, longer life. Reducing operating temperature by up to 20 °C extends motor and transformer lifespan by 2–4×, so the assets you already own last longer and cost less to keep.
- Result
- 2–4× equipment life for motors and transformers, downstream of every correction.
- Maintenance
- Cooler windings and connections degrade more slowly, so the maintenance burden falls.
- Replacement
- Equipment reaches the end of its life later, stretching replacement schedules and deferring capital spend.
- Downtime
- Less thermal stress means fewer unplanned failures, and fewer of the stoppages that come with them.
- Basis
- The IEEE Arrhenius rule: every 10 °C of excess operating temperature halves insulation life.
