Abstract
A harmonic mitigating device also functions as a phase converter for supplying single-phase non-linear loads, or as a phase shifting device for three-phase non-linear loads with multiple inputs to create a quasi multi-pulse system. A multiple-winding reactor or a plurality of single-winding reactors, and at least one capacitor, are connected in a crosslink circuit between the reactor windings, or between the reactor windings and another line. At least one reactive element comprising a line winding is connected to each phase or to the neutral and in series with a non-linear load, which provides a high reactance to harmonic currents, and at least one crosslink circuit comprising a second reactive element connected between the second end of the line winding and a capacitor which is connected to any other line in the system.
