Traditional harmonic reduction technique

The traditional method of current harmonic reduction involves passive filters LC, parallel-connected to the grid. Filters are usually constructed as series-connected legs of capacitors and chokes [the number of legs depends on number of filtered harmonics (5th, 7th, 11th, 13th) ].

Different harmonic reduction Technique

Many harmonic reduction methods exist. These techniques based on passive components, mixing single and three-phase diode rectifiers, and power electronics techniques as: multi-pulse rectifiers, active filters and PWM rectifiers (Fig. 1.1). They can be generally divided as:

IEEE standards On line current and voltage Harmonic

Reduction of harmonic content in line current to a few percent allows avoiding most of the mentioned problems.
