Abstract Harmonic distortion in power systems is a critical challenge that electrical engineers face, especially in today's complex and technology-driven environments. The proliferation of non-linear loads—such as variable frequency drives, power electronic converters, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)—has led to an increase in harmonic distortions that degrade the quality of po...
The generation and impact of harmonic problems Harmonics in electrical systems are caused by nonlinear components, which distort the sine wave of the electrical current. As power electronics become more common, voltage distortion, or harmonics, also increases. Devices like variable frequency drives (VFDs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and inverters introduce different types of harmonics i...
Managing Non-Linear Load Harmonics with Active Power Filters Introduction Non-linear loads are becoming a significant challenge in today’s electrical systems. These loads cause the current to be non-sinusoidal, even when connected to a sinusoidal voltage source. This non-sinusoidal current contains harmonic currents that interact with the power distribution system, leading to v...
