SHUNT ACTIVE FILTER

It is a voltage-source converter connected in

shunt with the same ac line and acts as a

current source to cancel current distortions,
compensate reactive current of the load, and
improve the power factor.
There will be harmonics in current due to non

linear loads.Inorder to rectify such

nonlinearities a shunt active filter is
employed.
If such a nonlinearity occur the shunt active

filter compensate for it by injecting required

amount of current in each phase externally by

Shunt active filter
Harmonics are sinusoidal voltages or currents

having frequencies that are integer multiples

of fundamental frequency which is usually
50Hz. The harmonic distortion originates in
the nonlinear characteristics of devices and
also on loads connected to the power system.
