Active filter design to reduce the harmonics level generated by non linear load / Shahrul Azli Md Shah

Nonlinear load is one of the common sources of harmonic. The harmonic content that exceeds the IEEE 519 limits will harmful the overall system connected to the nonlinear load. Active filter is one of the alternative approaches to reduce the harmonics content. Therefore, proper active filter (AF) des...
