Abstract
AC to AC frequency converters had a challenge to be proposed as a reduction of THD. This challenge due to eliminate the most effective harmonics in frequency spectrum with low cost and no difficulty. However, the challenge is represented by producing new technique for AC to AC frequency changer with lower total harmonic distortion compared with regular AC to AC frequency changer. This proposed work introduces reduction based on eliminate the 3rd predominant harmonic by imposing a waveform with same frequency, amplitude and poly phase of presented harmful harmonic the elimination for the most effective harmonic will cause reduction in THD . The proposed technique gave a significant reduction in THD (about 52%) with respect to regular AC to AC frequency changer with low cost implementation requirements.
