In this paper, an improved filtering arrangement for a converter circuit in which a highpass filter, tuned to have a cutoff frequency which is less than the lowest harmonic to be filtered is provided instead of the customary plurality of filters tuned to individual harmonic currents.
Abstract
An improved filtering arrangement for a converter circuit in which a highpass filter, tuned to have a cutoff frequency which is less than the lowest harmonic to be filtered is provided instead of the customary plurality of filters tuned to individual harmonic currents. In a 12 pulse converter circuit, at least one highpass filter which is tuned to filter out harmonics starting with the fifth harmonic and which has a resonant frequency above the 11th harmonic is used.

Power source system

Akira Mase
TL;DR: In this paper, a power source system consisting of a converter for converting AC power on an AC bus into DC power, a damped filter connected between the AC bus and ground and including a capacitor and an inductor, a diode-rectifying circuit for taking out and rectifying fundamental and harmonic waves produced across the inductor in the damped filters, and a circuit for connecting a DC output circuit in the diode rectifying circuit in series with the output of the converter.

Composite filter for suppressing harmonic frequencies on electric power transmission lines

TL;DR: In this article, a composite filter for the eleventh and thirteenth harmonics was proposed to eliminate undesirable harmonics so that they will not be transmitted over power lines where they can cause telephone interference and undesired heating of electrical equipment.
