Solution:
As generally practiced by power engineers, we tune the harmonic filter at 5%
lower than the harmonic frequency, that is, f
h
= 0.95 × 11 × 60 = 627 Hz for the
11th harmonic. Then using Equation 16.23, we get

16.5.2 very Clean Power BUs
High-power electronics converters switching on and off high currents produce
high harmonic distortion on the bus that can adversely impact the performance of
harmonic-sensitive loads, such as science instruments, computers in data centers,
navigation instruments and radar on ships, etc ...
