BACKGROUND AHF is used for centralized harmonic suppression in a power system. AHF is an IGBT based Power Electronics device. It uses IGBT and inverter technology. It actively eliminates 100% harmonic distortion & reacts instantly to varying loads. This is done by injecting additional currents as required in order to cancel the harmonic components of the non-linear loads. Every consumer of Electricity Board at 415 V should possess, who experience harmonic related issues such as:

DESIGN An AHF is installed in parallel to the harmonic generating loads. A CT first measures the current being drawn momentarily by the load. Then filter control unit analyses this current for amplitude & harmonic order. Then it feeds a compensation current into system whose amplitude and individual harmonic order is exactly equal to the current drawn by the load but which is 180 degree out of phase with it. So the harmonic currents cancel each other and the supply network only has to supply the fundamental frequency and is not contaminated with harmonics at the point of connection.
