- 812 - 11. ANALYSIS OF THE FILTER
The problem relating to current harmonics is very
important in low and medium power applications. It is the
value of the current and its waveform that determines many
of the power system design criteria (Fig. 3). Due to the
non-linear nature of the load, the load current iL , consists
of a fundamental component i,, as well as harmonic
,which in the absence of the active filter
components ihorm
are present within the supply current is, polluting the
power system. Therefore if i, = i, then is = i, where
i, contains only the fundamental component.
Most active filters designed for this purpose are voltage or
current fed inverter configurations, using various switching
techniques to control the compensation signal. The inverter
configuration relies on the availability of a constant dc
voltage or current source in order to generate the required
compensation signal. This is accomplished by the use of tr. 11. t' tr
large reservoir capacitors or inductors, which are not only
expensive but are also physically very large. Fig.4: PWM-hysterisis switching technique
