Design of single tuned passive filter to provide reactive power compensation and to minimize THD

Abstract:This paper presents Design of single tuned passive filter to provide reactive power compensation and to minimize THD. different an industrial distribution system. The passive in filters considered are the single tuned harmonic filters. In the design of the filters, the passive elements of the filters inductor, capacitor and resistor are derived. Studies are made to investigate the effectiveness of using single filters in reducing harmonic distortions and to provide reactive power compensation. The effects of power factor correction capacitor and lord parameters variation on harmonic distortion are also studied.
