Abstract: In today’s world, undoubtedly semiconductor components are involved in every instrument right from toys to big control devices of big machinery. The use of semiconductor devices introduces harmonics in the system currently minimum 15% harmonics is observed for LT customer. The harmonics in distribution system gets propagated to transmission and generation system. The presence of harmonic in system causes maloperation of the protective devices resulting in power failure. In this paper review of three phase multipulse AC-DC converter (MPC) is presented. MPC are used for improvement of power quality for reduction of harmonics in ac mains and ripples in dc output.
Keywords: Power quality, harmonics reduction, multipulse DC-AC converters etc.
