Abstract
An apparatus to be used with a PWM VSI which is linked by voltage supply cables to either a passive or a dynamic load, the VSI providing voltages on the cables which have at least one primary harmonic component, the apparatus linked to the output terminals of the VSI and including a line inductor between each output terminal and the load and, for each cable, at least one resonant filter branch including an inductor and a capacitor linked to each of the supply lines and to a common node wherein the line inductors are chosen so as to limit filter current and the branch elements are chosen such that a resonant frequency thereof is essentially equal to the frequency of the primary harmonic component.
