Harmonic Problem in Power Capacitor for Power Factor Compensation due to the Nonlinear Loads

비선형부하에 의한 역률보상용 전력 커패시터의 고조파 문제

Power capacitors are widely used to compensate the low power factor of the linear load and/or nonlinear load. Especially, nonlinear loads generates the harmonic current and it gives an undesirable effect on the power capacitors. In this paper, harmonic current from nonlinear load to the power capacitors is calculated by the computer simulation and it is compared with the experimental results.
