Simulation of Passive Filter Harmonic Reduction and Power Factor Improvement for Non-Linear Loads IEC 61000-3-2 Standard

Pure sinusoidal shape of the current or voltage waveform is distorted by the third harmonic. Harmonics based on their order are odd order harmonics 3, 5, 7, 9,11 and so on, Harmonics can also be defined as components with frequencies that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. The first harmonic is the fundamental frequency, namely 50 or 60 Hz, the second harmonic is a component with a frequency twice the fundamental frequency, namely 100 or 120 Hz, etc.The ability of the passive single tuned filter used in this research was able to reduce the Total Harmonic Distortion content from 78.8% to 10.72%, IEC 61000-3-2 class D harmonic standard limits, the harmonic orders generated by the Power Amplifier exceed the standard, namely orders 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, the Total Harmonic Distortion content from 78.8% to 10.72%. According to IEC standards.
