A few questions about power factor correction and harmonic filtering?

1) As far as I know, there are two types of harmonic filtering (through passive and active filters). Do the filters correct power factor as well as filtering harmonics, or capacitor banks are also needed to correct power factor?2) If the capacitor banks used to correct power factor and harmonic filtering are the same, how does switching capacitor banks to correct power factor effect harmonic filtering?

Answer:

Power factor correction and harmonic filtering can be combined in harmonic trap designs. Any power factor correction capacitors in a system that has harmonic distortion may need to have tuning reactors added to prevent harmonic resonance and excess harmonic currents in the capacitors.
If the capability element isn't corrected the the unit will draw extra contemporary and the resistance of the inductor interior the unit would be extreme. it is going to be blowing fuses. The reactance of the coils a lot be matched by the reactance of the capacitors. this provide you a low impedance (resistance) and it will draw much less capability.
