Patent ID: 7629786

Claim:
A device for reducing harmonics in three-phase poly-wire power lines in order to prevent harmonics current from being introduced into an electric power system, the harmonics reduction device comprising: an electric power system having three-phase poly-wire power lines in order to supply alternating-current (AC) power voltage to a load; a zigzag transformer in which windings connected with three-phase lines in the electric power system are wound through first and second legs, second and third legs, and third and first legs of a core having three legs, respectively, while varying direction of each magnetic flux, and an intermediate point of each winding is commonly connected with a neutral line of the electric power system and that of the load; and an open delta connection portion connected between the neutral line of the load side and the neutral line of the electric power system, wherein the open delta connection is wound though the three legs of the core in sequence such that the directions of the magnetic flux of the three legs are the same, and one of the connection points of the three legs is open and opened ends of the opened connection point are connected between the neutral line of the load side and the neutral line of the electric power system.
