Publication number: 20160365727Abstract: A system for cancelling fundamental neutral current on a multi-phase power distribution grid. The system includes a controller coupled to the power distribution grid responsive to a neutral current signal configured to determine a first corrective current based on at least the neutral current signal. A power module responsive to the controller is configured to generate the first corrective current. A transformer subsystem includes primary windings coupled to the power distribution grid and a zero sequence voltage point coupled to the power module. The transformer subsystem is configured to transform the first corrective current into a second corrective current coupled to the power distribution grid such that the second corrective current cancels all or part of a fundamental neutral current.
