In the modern power system, power quality problems are getting more and more attention, and harmonic pollution is one of the important problems. As an effective harmonic management tool, passive harmonic filter plays a vital role in power quality management by virtue of its unique advantages and wide application.

Characteristics of passive harmonic filters

Passive harmonic filters are mainly composed of passive components such as inductors (L), capacitors (C) and resistors (R), through the parameter design to make the filtering branch to specific frequency harmonics into a low impedance path, so as to achieve the purpose of harmonic suppression, the working principle is based on the impedance characteristics of inductors and capacitors for different frequency signals: inductors present high impedance for high frequency signals, while capacitors present low group resistance for high frequency signals. By rationally designing the parameters and connections of these components, passive harmonic filters can be targeted to remove harmonics of specific frequencies.

The advantages of passive harmonic filters include simple construction, low cost, high operational reliability and low operating costs. It does not require an external power supply, which reduces the number of points of failure and makes it suitable for large-scale applications. However, it has some limitations, such as the wave effect is greatly affected by the impedance characteristics of the system, and it is susceptible to temperature drift, the degree of harmonic contamination, the aging of the filter capacitors, and the variation of nonlinear loads.

Application areas of passive harmonic filters

Passive harmonic filters are widely used in many fields. In the power system, it is not only used for filtering harmonics, but also commonly used in reactive power compensation and voltage regulation, to improve the quality of electricity. In the field of communication, passive harmonic filters are commonly used in signal processing, such as filtering out noise, separating signals in different frequency bands and so on. In the industrial automation control system, it helps to stabilize the control signal, reduce interference and improve system stability. In addition, in the field of audio processing and instrumentation, passive harmonic filters also play an important role.
