Abstract :
Parallel active harmonic filters are just emerging as a viable technology. This paper discusses: (1) what a parallel active harmonic filter is; (2) a comparison of current product design/application emphases; (3) application comparisons to passive harmonic filters; and (4) performance of an active filter
