  • Active power filter with adjustable neutral current limit
    Patent number: 10587119
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the disclosure, a power filter is provided including a first input configured to receive measurements of electrical characteristics of source power lines from a power source, a second input configured to receive measurements of electrical characteristics of load power lines to a load, an output configured to couple to output power lines to provide output current compensation signals, a power converter coupled to the power output and configured to receive input power, receive input control signals and provide the output current compensation signals based on the input control signals, and a controller configured to provide the control signals to the power converter, wherein the controller receives an indication of a neutral current limit, and the controller is configured to adjust the control signals based on the indication of the neutral current limit to limit current on a neutral of the output power line.
