Toshiba: AS3U Low Voltage Drive – Integrated Harmonic Filtering in a Single Enclosure

In water and wastewater facilities, as well as many continuous duty industrial pumping systems, power quality is not an abstract requirement. It affects motor heating, transformer loading, and the stability of backup power systems. To address these practical constraints, the AS3U series combines an AS3 adjustable speed drive with an integrated passive harmonic filter in a UL Type 1 free‑standing enclosure. This factory‑integrated solution reduces upstream harmonic distortion while simplifying installation by eliminating the need for additional filters.
