Passive Harmonic Filter with Bluetooth® wireless technology
The HGP (HarmonicGuard Passive) filter is a drive applied passive harmonic filter that limits current distortion to less than 5% at low loads. The HGP with PQconnect provides Bluetooth connectivity to monitor power quality and control the filter.
High quality components and a robust design allow this passive filter to deliver best in class performance under the harshest conditions and in the most challenging applications. The HGP filter is suitable for all industry applications. HGP with PQconnect is the only passive filter with remote connectivity.

Harmonics and Power Quality
Issues caused by harmonics may include:
- Transformer and distribution equipment overheating
- Random breaker tripping
- Sensitive equipment failure
- Poor power factor
HGP with PQconnect Advantages
The HGP harmonic filter is a field-proven passive filter designed to meet your specific industry requirements. This filter not only limits current distortion to less than 5% at low loads, but it also increases drive uptime and eliminates nuisance tripping. The UL508A configuration includes 100kA SCCR safety, with fusing and easy access inside the enclosure. A filter bypass contactor is not needed in offline VFD applications.
HGP with PQconnect takes measurements at different points within the line to give you accurate readings.
- Filter status detection
- THID (total harmonic current distortion)
- THVD (total harmonic voltage distortion)
- V (voltage)
- I (current)
With the addition of PQconnect, the HGP harmonic filter features:
Generator Compatibility + Intelligence
The HGP with PQconnect is an intelligent passive harmonic filter with generator compatibility. The filter autonomously controls its tuning circuit contactor based on your input system to ensure worry-free operations for generator-based systems.
Serial Communication
The HGP communication with Modbus RTU provides data monitoring and status of the filter to your SCADA system. The filter will communicate informational alerts to ensure your system stays running and resolves power quality issues.
Industrial Strength
The HGP with PQconnect is built in the USA, using high quality components. This allows our passive filters to deliver best in class performance under the harshest conditions and in the most challenging applications.
Filter Status Detections
Receive alerts before problems occur. With PQconnect, users will be notified if issues were to arise, including on the components of your filter. This will prevent unnecessary downtime and will alert the user when capacitors are nearing end of life.

Designed with Oilfield Duty in Mind
This field-proven passive filter has factory options available to meet your specific requirements including Oilfield Duty. It features components designed specifically for oil and gas field applications to handle the additional electrical stress. Designed for cyclical loads, these units will be available in Type 3R enclosures and will be for use with HP ranges from 40 to 200 HP.
Low Capacitance HarmonicGuard Filter
TCI also provides a low capacitance version of our HGP product. The HarmonicGuard Low Capacitance filter has been designed with roughly half the capacitance of the HGP, but provides all the same options of the HarmonicGuard Passive filter. For more information on the HGL product, click here.
