Abstract
Voltage sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers, process controllers, programmable logic controllers, adjustable speed drives and robotic devices is increasingly used in modern industrial processes. Industrial loads thus require a supply free of voltage disturbances such as voltage dips, swells, unbalances and harmonics. The effect of these disturbances may be as bad as a complete shut down of a production line, hence giving rise to the growing interest and need, for mitigation of such power quality problems. The objective of this thesis is to design and build a mitigation device to shield loads from these problems.
