Abstract:
1. An AC power distribution unit for coupling AC power having a fundamental frequency to a plurality of electrical loads, comprising: an enclosure; a power input feed retained by said enclosure for coupling to a source of said AC power; a plurality of power output feeds retained by said enclosure for coupling to said plurality of electrical loads; and a harmonic mitigation module retained in said enclosure and connected between said power input feed and said plurality of power output feeds, said harmonic mitigation module bilaterally reducing harmonic current distortion with respect to said plurality of electrical loads above a predetermined frequency between said power input feed and said plurality of power output feeds, wherein said predetermined frequency is comprised of a predetermined odd harmonic of said fundamental frequency so that harmonic current distortion is reduced at odd harmonics above said predetermined odd harmonic of said fundamental frequency, and wherein harmonic current distortion at said predetermined odd harmonic is substantially unreduced.
