PASSIVE FILTERING

General characteristics

Passive harmonic filters for power converters allow current harmonics to be reduced in three-phase networks, in such a way that they protect and clean our system from their harmful effects. The filter is installed at the input of the harmonic generator thus eliminating the harmonics at their source.
These filters consist of two main blocks: line impedances and LC filter. The line impedance provides high impedance to the mains and the LC filter provides low impedance to the load ensuring maximum harmonic filtering. In this way we achieve that the harmful effects of the harmonics are trapped inside the filter.
The passive filter works very well even under the harshest conditions of harmonic loads.
These filters can be manufactured in an envelope with different IP.
