Abstract |
With the proliferation of nonlinear loads such as lighting facilities in all of modern society high neutral harmonic currents have been observed. High neutral currents in three- phase four-wire distribution systems can cause lots of harmonic problems. The most common solution of neutral harmonic currents reduction is a zero phase sequence filter using zig-zag transformer. This paper analyzes a commercially available neutral line zero sequence currents reduction device and applies the equipment to lighting loads for eliminating harmonics. Experimental results are compared numerically and graphically with simulation results through the use of MATLAB. |
