Assessing district heating pump VFD harmonics requires season-labeled logs rather than a single summer snapshot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">Heat-delivery contracts and electrical distortion reviews should not share the same acceptance sentence. CNBYG can discuss AHF\/APF product-line context when measured harmonic current is the objective. It cannot establish heat-delivery contracts, boiler efficiency claims, or a guaranteed harmonic result.
