3.3.1 Types of Passive Filters:<br />

There are two types of passive filters :<br />

• Shunt Passive Filters and<br />

• Series Passive Filters<br />

These filters are used for single phase and three phase power system. One important<br />

thing to note is that, more than one shunt and series passive filters can be used with and<br />

without each other in a system.<br />

Some of the basic differences between the shunt passive and series passive filters are as<br />

follows.<br />

• The shunt passive filters carry only part of the total load current while the series<br />

passive filter carries full load current.<br />

• The shunt passive filters are cheaper compared to the series passive filters so they<br />

are used more often than the series passive filters.<br />

Figure 2 and 3 shows the single phase passive filter with shunt and series<br />

configuration respectively.<br />
