Reasons of Neutral Current The neutral current is the current flowing through the neutral conductor in a multi-phase electrical system. In a perfectly balanced system, the sum of the currents in all phases should theoretically cancel each other out, resulting in zero neutral current. However, in practice, various factors cause current to flow in the neutral conductor. Reasons for Neutral Cur...
Neutral current and Active harmonic filter Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) and Neutral Current Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) is used to improve power quality, by harmonics filtering, reactive power compensation and 3 phase balancing in power systems. Harmonics are voltage or current waveforms that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. They can cause various power quality issues, includin...
