Description
Block Passive Harmonic Filter (Three-Phase) suppresses harmonic currents in the system and reduces voltage distortion by providing low-impedance paths for harmonics. At the rated frequency, passive shunt filters are capacitive and provide reactive power, which can improve the power factor.
Each of the four block models corresponds to one of the parameter options Filter type:
Single-setting bandpass filter

An LC resonance occurs at the tuned frequency, and the filter impedance reaches its minimum, equal to the resistance value.
The adjustable filter frequency is determined by the following equation:
where and — adjustable and basic frequencies, — harmonic order of the tuned frequency, — inductance, and — capacity.
The Q factor is defined as the ratio of the inductive or capacitive resistance at the tuned frequency to the resistance, as described in the following equation:
where
-
— resistance;
-
— the impedance of the inductor at a configurable frequency;
-
— the impedance of the capacitor at a configurable frequency.
Higher Q-factor values lead to sharper frequencies. However, this causes significant power dissipation at the base frequency due to the relatively low resistance.
The rated reactive power is determined by the formula
where — rated reactive power for one phase, and — the RMS value of the voltage in the branch.
Double-setting bandpass filter

The dual tuning filter has two adjustable frequencies. and , where and .
The dual tuning filter includes a serial LC circuit and a parallel RLC circuit, each of which is tuned to frequencies. and , close to the geometric mean frequencies and , which are represented by the equation
where
The Q-factor of this filter is defined as the Q-factor of parallel elements. and at the geometric average frequency :
Second-order high-pass filter

A second-order high-pass filter suppresses a significant portion of harmonics at a frequency equal to or higher than the tuned frequency. The filter is designed to have a flat impedance for high-order harmonics.
The adjustable filter frequency is determined by the following equation:
The Q factor is defined as the inverse of the Q factor of a single-tuning bandpass filter.:
The rated reactive power is the same as that of a single-setting bandpass filter:
C-type high-pass filter

Compared to the single tuning option, the C-type high-pass filter has lower losses at the fundamental frequency, since the capacitor and inductor are parallel to the resistor.
To prevent the passage of the main currents through the resistor, the resonant frequency of the elements and adjusts to the fundamental frequency:
The quality factor is calculated using the formula
