sources of harmonics. Recent surveys on the three-phase four-
wire electric power distribution systems with computer and
nonlinear loads show excessive currents in the neutral conductor.
The neutral currents are basically zero-sequence current
harmonics, which is mostly, consists of triplen current
harmonics. As a result, the perfect sinusoidal voltage and current
waveform are very much distorted. To solve this problem, a
simple and practical approach to reduce harmonics current in 3-
phase 4-wire power distribution system is proposed. The using of
LC filter in three-phase four-wire system will reduce the
harmonic problem in the system. This LC filter is depending on
value of capacitor and inductor. It i s not only reduce zero-
sequence harmonics bul also reduce other .harmonics io the
system. Besides that, this application also can improve power ....
