Single-phase and three-phase load can be used together in 3-phase 4-wire system. Single-phase and three-phase loads can be classified as linear loads without harmonics and nonlinear with harmonics. Single-phase linear loads are linear loads such as lamps and heat, and single-phase nonlinear loads are power converters such as rectifiers. It is recommended that the distribution of loads in the 3-phase, 4-wire distribution lines be evenly distributed within a certain range. However, harmonic currents generated in a nonlinear load flow on the neutral line and affect the phase current magnitude. The difference in the magnitude of the individual phase current due to the influence of the harmonic current present in the neutral line can produce a difference in current and load unbalance. In this study, current unbalance ratio and load unbalance ratio which can occur when a combination of linear and nonlinear loads are applied to 3-phase 4-wire distribution line are calculated.

The analysis of nonlinear equivalent circuit and the resonance characteristics of input current and output voltage were simulated, and their electrical properties are discussed in the transverse-type piezoelectric ceramic transformer. The nonlinear resonance characteristics of input current and output voltage showed by the thermal effect due to a higher driving current, the nonlinearity increased greatly as driving current increased. When load resistor was 100[M.ohm.], the nonlinear coefficient was -1.3. The nonlinear resonance curve of input current and output voltage for a variation of input voltage and load resistor agreed with the discussed theory. The output voltage increased nearly proportioned to input voltage when load resistors were below 50[M.ohm.], the voltage step-up ratio decreased when a load resistor was 100[M.ohm.] and their maximum value was 950.

This paper presents a digital control solution to process capacitor current feedback of high performance single-phase UPS for non-linear loads. In all UPS the goal is to maintain the desired output voltage waveform and RMS value over all unknown load conditions and transient response. The proposed UPS uses instantaneous load voltage and filter capacitor current feedback, which is based on the double regulation loop such as the outer voltage control loop and inner current control loop. The proposed DSP-based digital-controlled PWM inverter system has fast dynamic response and low total harmonic distortion (THD) for nonlinear load. The control system was implemented on a 32bit Floating-point DSP controller TMS320C32 and tested on a 5[KVA] IGBT based inverter switching at 11[Khz]. The validity of the proposed scheme is investigated through simulation and experimental results.

Capacitor is basically used for the power-factor compensation and sometimes as the passive filter to reduce harmonics of nonlinear load. Since the impedance of capacitor is inversely proportional to the frequency. The harmonic current may result in the problems of voltage distortion and resonance. Capacitor has easily fall under by two harmonic components, a nonlinear load and a distorted utility voltage. The amplified harmonic current and voltage may damage power capacitor. Hence the pre-investigation of harmonic is needed before designing and application the power factor for reducing fault rate. In this paper, we analyzed that voltage and current with harmonics components act on the capacitor under the resonance condition. we concluded that both voltage and current harmonics have an bad effect on the capacitor and current harmonics is a bitter rather than effect by voltage harmonics.

This study investigates transformer losses caused by current harmonics. Electrical transformers are designed to work under sinusoidal voltage and current waves at a rated frequency. Recently, various nonlinear loads, such as power electronic converters, are connected to a power system; these converters generate current harmonics. Current harmonics increase power loss in transformers, which results in several problems, including temperature increase of the transformer and insulation damage. These problems will eventually shorten the operational life of the transformer. In this study, different types of losses caused by current harmonics in three-phase transformers are studied under linear and nonlinear load conditions. Linear loads are simulated and experimented on using pure resistance load, whereas nonlinear loads are simulated and experimented on using a three-phase twelve-pulse thyristor full-bridge rectifier. The different types of losses in three-phase transformers are evaluated analytically through the experimental result and simulation in PSiM.

Power capacitors are widely used to compensate the low power factor of the linear load and/or nonlinear load. Especially, nonlinear loads generates the harmonic current and it gives an undesirable effect on the power capacitors. In this paper, harmonic current from nonlinear load to the power capacitors is calculated by the computer simulation and it is compared with the experimental results.

This paper describes the problems associated with the use of PWM ASDs to drive induction motors. A major effect of harmonic voltages and currents in induction motors is increased heating due to iron and copper losses at harmonic frequencies. The harmonic components thus affect the motor efficiency, and can also affect the torque developed. In order to investigate the effect of harmonics which is caused by using of nonlinear load at the low voltage system, we fixed up simple load model and measured the voltage and current. Measurement. results show that additional operation of linear load at the parallel bus in using nonlinear load such as ASD is helpful to the reduction of harmonic current.

The output voltage of an off-grid inverter is influenced by load current, and the voltage harmonics especially the 5th and 7th are increased with nonlinear loads. In this paper, to attenuate the output voltage harmonics of off-grid inverters with nonlinear loads nearby, a load current feedforward is proposed. It is introduced to a voltage control loop based on the Positive and Negative Sequence Harmonic Regulator (PNSHR) compensation to modify the output impedance at selective frequencies. The parameters of the PNSHR are revised with the output impedance of the off-grid inverter, which minimizes the output impedance of the off-grid inverter. Experimental results verify the proposed method, showing that the output voltage harmonics caused by nonlinear loads can be effectively suppressed.
