The Line filter is a filter circuit composed of capacitance, inductance and resistance. A filter can effectively filter out a specific frequency point in the power line or frequencies outside of that frequency point, obtaining a specific frequency power signal or eliminating a specific frequency power signal. A filter, as the name suggests, is a device that filters waves. Wave "is a very broad phy...

1 、The Role of Power Filter Capacitors The power filter capacitor is a type of capacitor connected in series between the power output and the load, mainly used to filter high-frequency noise in the power supply and ensure the stability and reliability of the power output. At the output end of the power supply, due to the conversion of AC power to DC power, there will be a certain AC component in t...

What does harmonic current mean Harmonic current is a collective term for the sinusoidal components whose frequency is an integer multiple of the original periodic current frequency. A harmonic current with a frequency equal to k times the frequency of the original periodic current is called a k-th harmonic current, and all harmonic currents with a frequency greater than 1 are collectively referre...

The fundamental cause of harmonic generation is due to nonlinear loads. When the current flows through the load and does not have a linear relationship with the applied voltage, it forms a non sinusoidal current, resulting in harmonics. The suppression of harmonics in the power system is to reduce or eliminate the harmonic current injected into the system, in order to control the harmonic voltage ...

In the rectifier filter circuit, there are two parts of the circuit altogether, respectively the rectifier circuit and the filter circuit, the functions of the two are different, the function of the rectifier circuit is to convert the sine wave AC voltage, and the function of the filter circuit is to convert the unidirectional ripple voltage, and the functions of the two parts of the circuit work ...

What is an active power filter Active Power Filter (APF) is a new type of power electronic device used to dynamically suppress harmonics and compensate reactive power, which can compensate for harmonics and reactive power changes in magnitude and frequency. The reason why the active filter is called active, as the name suggests, the device needs to provide a power supply (to compensate for the har...

1. Definition of harmonics In the AC power grid, due to the operation of many nonlinear electrical equipment, the voltage and current waveforms are actually not complete sine waveforms, but non-sine waves with different degrees of distortion. Harmonic refers to the amount of electricity contained in the current whose frequency is an integer multiple of the fundamental wave, and generally refers to...

1. Nonlinear characteristics   The diodes, thyristors and other power electronic devices in rectifier equipment have nonlinear voltammetry characteristics. Take the diode as an example, when the input AC voltage is in positive half circle, the diode is positive and the current can pass through; At the negative half cycle, the diode is reversed off and the current is almost zero. This characte...

With the increasing use of nonlinear loads such as variable frequency drives, rectifiers, and other power electronic devices, power grid harmonics have become a common problem in low-voltage electrical systems. Low-voltage active power filters (APFs) play a key role in detecting and mitigating harmonic distortion to improve power quality. Here’s how APFs work to actively compensate for harmonics i...

As modern power systems rely more on nonlinear loads, Total Harmonic Distortion in Current (THDi) has become a critical factor in ensuring power quality and equipment longevity. In this article, we explore what THDi is, its causes, its impacts on equipment, and how to mitigate it using advanced harmonic filtering techniques. 1. What is THDi? THDi stands for Total Harmonic Current Distortion. It is...
