conditions. So what you read in the spec

is what you get on-site.

Our expertise is being applied throughout

the world with projects completed

in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia,

South America and North America.


A history of innovationWith our reality-based approach

to solving power quality challenges,

our expert technical staff has achieved

a series of distinguished firsts in the

industry, including:

• The first application of a zero sequence

harmonic filter to remove heavy 3rd

harmonic current in a computer intensive,

high tech manufacturing facility.

• A patented auto-transformer/filter

product often used in broadcasting

facilities to lower ground currents

and video noise produced by harmonics.

• High Performance Transformers (HPTs)

that combine harmonic mitigation

with energy savings to meet the needs

of today’s non-linear loads while saving

money and protecting the environment.

• The ONICS™ Harmonic Mitigating

Remote Panelboard (HMRP), a unique

solution that treats all four of the

major current harmonics created by

single-phase, power electronic loads

by combining proven and reliable

passive, electromagnetic filtering

with distribution panel boards.

• The LINEATOR™ Advanced Universal

Harmonic Filter (AUHF), which has

captured a significant portion of the

“clean power” Variable Frequency

Drive market since its introduction.

MIRUS continues to dedicate substantial

time and resources to develop, test and

release the best power quality solutions

possible. Our innovation drives our growth.

“LINEATOR did as promised.”Peter O’Brien,Electrical EngineerChevron

MIRUS solutions meet, even exceed, today’s harmonic, environmental and efficiency standards.


High performance transformers for high performance buildingsWith the renewed focus on energy efficient

high performance building projects,

MIRUS understands the need for high

efficiency, non-linear load compatible

transformers that deliver on their promises.

And unlike conventional Energy Star

transformers, which are only optimized

for high efficiency under light loads (35%)

and linear loading (60 Hz), MIRUS High

Performance Transformers (HPTs) maintain

their high efficiency under both linear

and non-linear loading over the practical

range of 35% to 65% load. To ensure

performance levels are met, we factory

test our transformers for efficiency under

both linear and non-linear loading with

independent third party verification of these

results. With built-in harmonic mitigation

technology, HPTs improve power quality

by preventing potentially damaging voltage

distortion from developing.

Meeting the VFD harmonic challenge As the use of variable frequency drives

(VFDs) has increased rapidly in recent

years, the concern over current harmonic

levels generated by them has increased

as well. Traditional methods of harmonic

treatment are often unreliable, too costly

or only moderately effective. The innovative

LINEATOR line of advanced universal

harmonic filters (AUHFs) by MIRUS

is an uncompromising advance in the

area of passive harmonic mitigation.

Using LINEATOR, you can:

• Get 18-Pulse performance from a 6-Pulse

VFD by treating all major harmonics

generated by these 3-phase rectifier loads.

• Easily apply harmonic filtration to

the input of a single VFD or multiple

VFDs from a dedicated supply.

• Meet IEEE Std 519 and other

applicable harmonic standards for

both current and voltage distortion.

• Reduce operating costs by lowering

harmonic losses.

• Get the most cost effective, premium

harmonic solution for VFDs.

With greater than 99% efficiency,

LINEATOR outperforms all other

forms of low harmonic (“clean power”)

VFD solutions, including 18-Pulse

and Active Front-End. With its small

“LINEATOR offered premium harmonic attenuation, a reliable passive filter design and system independency.”Dave Challoner, Natural Gas Sweetening PlantBritish Columbia, Canada


footprint, LINEATOR can be easily

installed in its own enclosure ahead

of the VFD, incorporated into a motor

control center or packaged with the VFD.

We factory test all LINEATOR products

to ensure they meet their published

performance and efficiency levels.

Making non-linear loads linearSince the introduction of switch-mode

power supplies (SMPS) in computers,

broadcasting equipment and other power

electronic devices, electrical engineers

have looked for a cost effective way of

dealing with both the current and voltage

harmonic distortion these power supplies

create. The ONICS Harmonic Mitigating

Remote Panelboard (HMRP) by MIRUS

treats all four of the major current harmonics

created by SMPS. The HMRP integrates

our harmonic mitigating technology with

two 42-circuit distribution panelboards,

optional monitoring and transient voltage

surge suppression (TVSS) in an attractive,

easy-to-install package – eliminating

overheating of distribution transformers

and their neutral conductors. The HMRP

also lowers voltage distortion to increase

the reliability of the connected equipment,

and reduces operating costs by removing

harmonic losses. Savings in upstream

cable and transformer initial costs

combine with ongoing energy savings

to offer you an attractive payback.

HMRP is ideal for computer data centers,

broadcasting facilities, casinos and any

other applications where 120V non-linear

loads are abundant. With the HMRP,

you get a lot of performance in an

easy-to-install, cost effective package.

With the HMRP, you get a lot of performance in an easy-to-install, cost effective package.

HMRP can be used to remove 3rd harmonic neutral and ground currents, reduce voltage distortion and lower video noise in broadcasting applications.


MIRUS: The proven differenceWhen you choose MIRUS, you get

the high level of performance you expect.

That’s because we back our claims.

Using our unique Harmonics & Energy

(H&E) Lab, we can create 1-phase

computer type loads or 3-phase variable

frequency drive loads, so we can test our

products under real-world, non-linear

load conditions. We also conduct

compatibility testing with all major

VFD manufacturers’ products to ensure

a trouble-free installation. To help you

find the right solution for your VFD

application, MIRUS offers our proprietary

Simulation of LINEATOR/VFD (SOLV™)

computer simulation program that will

calculate current and voltage distortion

levels based on your load requirements.

We can accurately predict the

performance level you can expect

– saving you the expense of

a costly harmonic study.

And MIRUS can help you

determine a justifiable

payback for your High Performance

Transformer application through the use

of our proprietary EValuator™ Energy

Savings Analysis Tool. Depending on

load profile and loading level, paybacks

of 1 to 4 years can be achieved. From

THE LINEATOR™ Advanced Universal Harmonic Filter Warranty and Performance Guarantee 1. Warranty: MIRUS International Inc. (“MIRUS”) warrants to the end-user (the “Customer”) of the LINEATOR™

Advanced Universal Harmonic Filter (“AUHF”) as follows:

(a) The LINEATOR™ AUHF will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of 3 years from the date of shipment; and

(b) 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:

(i) Reduce Current Total Harmonic Distortion (ITHD), measured at the LINEATOR™ input terminals at full load,

to: (1.) < 8% when background voltage distortion is < 5% and voltage imbalance is < 3% (2.) < 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% (ii) 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™.

(iii) 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.

(iv) NOT become overloaded by other upstream harmonic sources. (v) NOT resonate with other power system components. (vi) NOT have compatibility problems with engine generator sets properly sized for the load.
