"MITIGATION OF HARMONIC CURRENTS" literally :-)

Although, ‘Penalty’ losses have not been included
in this graph, they could easily be determined by
subtracting one value from another (ie. ‘Mitigation at
Panel’ minus ‘Mitigation at Loads’ would yield the
‘Penalty’ for mitigating the harmonic currents at the
panel rather than at the loads).

The improved power quality provided by the new filters minimizes the risk of downtime and process interruptions, saving energy and money. In addition to the global or selective ***mitigation of harmonic currents** up to the 50th order, ECOsine™ Active filters are able to perform targeted power factor correction. This highly dynamic process provides the required reactive power within microseconds, faster than traditional automatic capacitor banks.

agree  Richard McDorman: I think that this is the most idiomatic resolution of the original Spanish phrase in its entirety.

  -> Thanks, Richard

agree  Jennifer Levey: Yes - best to use plain English where it may help the reader, rather than some supposedly 'idiomatic' shorthand ('mitigation' cannot be properly qualified with the adjective 'harmonic').
