Question Dear Mrs cleggsan,
My supervisor has ordered me to shift my focus to passive filters. Because since im dealing with sufficiently high current system, i think that my sensing circuit is destroying my active filters. The current rating of the active filters is merely 7mA. The power supply might be giving me more whenever i on and suddenly off the power supply. May be i exceed the current rating, thats why my IC filters stop working
So, i would like to know based from your experience whether you know about any simple passive bandstop filters design that i can use to filter the harmonics?(Im working at 12V in my sensing circuit)
Thanks a lot
Diren
Answer I don't remember your purpose for the filters. Could you repeat for me the purpose of the filters and why you want to filter the line harmonics? If you are just wanting to purify the power line waveform you may be able to use just a low-pass filter that passes the line frequency and rejects all harmonics. You are on a 50Hz line? Right? Then a 50Hz low-pass filter should do the job. It can be a passive network with LC components..... Let me know if I am not remembering your application clearly.
