ABSTRACT
The active filter can avoid the passive filter, leading to harmonic drain for non-linear loads. A series active filter (SeAF) is used to mitigate both harmonic distortion and imbalance in the source voltage. A detailed review of series active filters is given. A comparison with shunt active filters is given in detail along with the design considerations of series active filters. An extensive topological research on series active filters and comparative analysis is elucidated in this chapter. Load current and line voltage disturbances are distinguished with respect to their parameters.
