harmonic filter capacitor is used to filterize the unwanted heat created by a certain component like power supply. harmonics are voltage or currents that operates a certain frequency.

Does capacitor banks produce harmonics?

No, capacitor banks reduce harmonics. They act like a low pass filter. They also raise voltage by compensating for inductance and bringing the power factor back closer to 1. Capacitor banks in the power system can cause transients when randomly closed - many utilities use zero voltage closing equipment, or inductors to counteract this short time harmonic problem.

capacitor acts as a small battery ,during rectification ac to dc it gets some blank space (no current) to fill this current from capacitor is used.

What is an RC filter for a ripple?

Place a capacitor across the output or load and you have your filter. This assumes that your load is a resistor. The capacitor you use depends on the frequency of the ripple. Lower frequencies require larger capacitors. A resistor may be required to make sure you do not damage any of the electronics either in series with the capacitor or immediately after the power source.


Can dc to ac converter burn up power tools?

They can. Low end inverters often use a square wave output, instead of a sine wave output. This causes harmonic distortion that can sometimes damage equipment. One of the damage mechanisms is the simple rectifier - when the diode conducts and recharges the filter capacitor in a power supply, if the slope of the step change is vertical, as it would be with a square wave, the instantaneous current through the diode and capacitor tries to be infinite, and that can damage the diode or capacitor.


What is the function of a bypass capacitor in an amplifier?

Bypass capacitors are used to bypass (shunt) unwanted signals to the ground. A common use is in power supplies where a bypass capacitor is connected in parallel with the main filter capacitor to shunt noise and other high frequency interference to ground which the main capacitor may not be able to do.
