Applications of tuned passive harmonic filters in a busbar with non-linear loads

The analysis of power factor and the level of harmonic distortion in an electrical system in the presence of non-linear loads is of great importance with regard to power quality and enforcement of existing laws and standards established by national and international regulatory agencies. As a result, this study examines the power quality of a secondary busbar which are connected non-linear loads. In this context, through computer simulations, we observed the effectiveness of tuned passive filters in order to reduce the levels of harmonic distortion and adjust the power factor of the system under study.
