Abstract
In this three-phase filter circuit system for static converter systems and particularly high-voltage direct-current short ties, at least two high-pass filters are provided which are connected in parallel. Each high-pass filter consists of a choke connected in parallel with a resistance and, in series with both, a capacitor and can be individually connected to the three-phase busbar via a switch. The filter circuits are used not only for reducing harmonics but also as compensating devices, which can be switched in steps, for the reactive power requirement of the static converters so that in the lower partial load range of the system one of the filter circuits is disconnected for reasons of reactive power balance. In order to improve the filtering effect in this lower partial load range, a bus-coupler switch connecting in each case the common junctions of capacitor, resistance and choke of the high-pass filters is closed. When the switch is closed, this widens the band width of the filter circuit which is in operation and increases the resonance frequency, and individual distortions, the total distortion and telephone interference factors on the busbar are reduced.
