Abstract

Electrified railroads inject large amount of harmonics, negative sequence and reactive currents to electric supply systems. This paper introduces application of active filter as a 3/1 phase converter for electrified railroad. In this system active filter compensate harmonics, negative sequence and reactive currents and electric railroad and active filter together act as a balance three-phase load with power factor 1
