why we r fixing harmonic filter

Answer Posted / thowsif_emerson

Purpose of Using a Harmonic Filter:-

Reduces neutral currents,
Reduces transformer loading,
Protects electrical systems,
Reduces fire hazard,
Protects the neutral conductor,
Enhances system protection,
Minimizes impact on distribution transformers,
Reduces local neutral to ground voltage,
Lowers peak phase current/average phase current,
Increases system capacity...

Decreases system losses,
Improves power factor on non-linear loads,
Reduces total harmonic distortion,
Improves phase current balance,
Augments phase voltage balance.
