Active Filter Design and Specification for Control of Harmonics in Industrial and Commercial Facilities
نویسنده
چکیده
Active filters have become a viable alternative for controlling harmonic levels in industrial and commercial facilities. However, there are many different filter configurations that can be employed and there is no standard method for rating the active filters. This paper describes the active filter operation characteristics and develops standard ratings that can be used for filtering different types of nonlinear loads. Limitations of the active filters are also described.
