Abstract :
Passive and active filtering of current harmonics drawn from the single-phase AC supply to achieve power factor correction is reviewed for switched reluctance drives. For some power ranges, the most inexpensive solution may be to use the existing power electronic converter of the switched reluctance drive, to provide active filtering. The operation of such a converter is described and test results are shown
