The Active Harmonic Filter AHF unit is an electronic measuring instrument used in natural science-related engineering and technical fields. During the spurious emission process of communication equipment, the wireless communication signals in the GSM, GSMR and CDMA frequency bands are filtered, which generally consists of capacitors, resistors and inductors. During the operation of the AHF Harmoni...
The inductor is a component that can convert electrical energy into magnetic energy and store it. The structure of the inductor is similar to that of a transformer, but there is only one winding, which only hinders the change of current. If the inductor is in the state of no current passing through, when the circuit is connected It will try to hinder the flow of current through it. If the inductor...
Meaning Of Harmonics Harmonic refers to the electric quantity whose frequency is an integral multiple of the fundamental wave contained in the current. Generally, it refers to the Fourier series decomposition of the periodic non sinusoidal electric quantity. Except for the electric quantity of the fundamental wave frequency, the electric quantity generated by the current greater than the fundament...
Effects of Harmonics : Increased losses Losses in capacitors The harmonic voltages applied to capacitors cause the flow of currents proportional to the frequency of the harmonics. These currents cause additional losses. Losses in conductors The active power transmitted to a load is a function of the fundamental component I1 of the current. When the current drawn by the load contains harmonics...
Why is the harmonic current on the null line mainly three times? This is due to two reasons: (1) Among the harmonic components generated by single-phase rectifier circuit, the third harmonic is the largest, and the distortion rate of the third harmonic usually reaches more than 80%. (2) The harmonic current of other times will have the effect of canceling on the zero line, onl...
Effect of Poor Power Factor The major effect of poor power factor is higher value of line current. We know that power factor (pf) is an important parameter for calculation of power in an AC circuit. For a given power and voltage, the current flowing through the line is inversely proportional to the power factor. This means that a poor power factor i.e. low power factor will result in hig...
3 phase load current imbalance In three phase systems, current unbalance is defined as the maximum deviation of any phase current from average divided by average current. Current unbalance can occur due to reasons within the control of the end user or outside the control of end user. Some of the reasons for current unbalance (or imbalance) are: Source voltage from the electric utility is unbalance...
Research background Because the value of harmonic loss is smaller than that of fundamental loss and the calculation is difficult, it is generally ignored in the theoretical calculation of line loss. However, with the development of power electronics technology, the nature of power generation and electrical equipment is becoming increasingly complex, and various nonlinear components put into ...
