In any industrial facility, electric motors and drives are a strong source of harmonic currents and utility-level voltage distortion. Together, these can wreak havoc with plant equipment and the mains power supply. When GA Pet Food Partners, a dry pet food manufacturer, began designing a new treatment plant at its Preston site, it knew that it needed to design harmonic mitigation into the plans to prevent unplanned outages from occurring.
