OCC-Active Power Filter

Breakthrough Technology

OCC Active Power Filter (OCC-APF) leverages unique patented technology invented at Caltech & University of California and developed by the world-leading power electronics experts under partial sponsorship of the California Energy Commission and California Institute for Energy & Environment. OCC-APF is the first hardware-enabled 3-phase Active Power Filter with high reliability and simple user interface, enabling harmonics cancellation and power factor correction in real-time.
