1 Scope
This part of IEC 62001 gives a guidance to the specification and design evaluation of AC filters of high-voltage
direct current HVDC) systems, specifically on harmonic performance aspects. This document focusses on three specific areas of interest. Clause 4 discusses telephone interference related to the operation of HVDC transmission, including
the derivation of appropriate harmonic limits. Clause 5 deals with all aspects of current-based harmonic performance criteria and their application. Clause 6 is concerned with field measurement and verification of compliance with specified
harmonic limits.
This document concentrates on passive AC filter technology and line-commutated high-voltage
direct current (HVDC) converters, but much of the content is equally relevant to VSC
converter technology. Where there is a distinction, this is indicated in the text.
The scope of this document covers AC side filtering for the frequency range of interest
in terms of harmonic distortion and audible frequency disturbances. It excludes filters
specifically designed to be effective in the PLC and radio interference spectra.
