Abstract |
Power capacitor is generally installed to compensate for the low power factor of inductive load But it has been used as passive filter to reduce harmonics generated by the power conversion device. Passive filter is composed by the series connection of reactor and capacitor. Because passive filter has play an important role on the absorber of harmonics, it takes voltage and current stress, follows partially burned on flamed and degradation, finally it has not guaranteed normal life. In this paper, we analyzed the effect that passive filter installed at the source side of PWM inverter is received by harmonics absorption. |
