An Active Power Filter Method to Improve the Line Current Spectrum of PWM Locomotive Rectifiers with Load Unbalance

Locomotives in heavy haul and high speed passenger operations represent several megawatts of electrical load. Single phase power collected by a pantograph is typically rectified by multiple PWM converters. The converter switching instants are phased to ensure ripple current cancellation, assuming th...
