Abstract

This paper describes one way of technical solutions which are used to reduce harmonics generated by variable speed drives (VSD). AC VSD belongs to their very significant sources with negative influences on the quality of electrical energy at the point of their connection to the network. The paper presents the calculation and design of required filter performance and also the measured results of applied active filter connected to power grid of industry plant.
