An industry whose load includes a high proportion of non-linear load (harmonic generating loads), with poor power factor, requires capacitor with de-tuned filter. This performs the function of power factor improvement while preventing harmonic amplification.
Normally, the inductance of the series reactor (of de-tuned filter) connected is chosen such that the tuning frequency of the de-tuned filter is 10% below the lowest harmonic frequency with considerable current/voltage amplitude. Therefore, resonance does not happen in the system and reactor offers high impedance for higher frequency harmonics.
Normally, 7% detuned reactors are designed considering typical industrial loads such as drives that have the following harmonic voltages: V3= 0.5% VN, V5= 6% VN, V7= 5% VN and so on. However, if the individual harmonic voltages increase, the following phenomenon happens:
