The harm of harmonics to power capacitors mainly includes the following aspects 1. Overcurrent and Overload -Harmonics can cause distortion of voltage and current at the capacitor terminals, especially at specific harmonic frequencies, where capacitors resonate with inductive components in the system, resulting in significant amplification of harmonic currents. Excessive harmonic current causes th...
In Active Harmonic Filter (AHF), the function of an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is to control the compensation currents that are generated to counteract the harmonic currents in an electrical power system. IGBTs are used as the main switching devices in AHFs due to their ability to handle high voltages and currents. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how IGBTs function in an Active ...
