With the Development of Morden Technologies a Vast number of Non-Linear Loads are used in Power
System, which causes Harmonic Distortion in the Power System. This Paper Proposes the Study of Harmonics Present in
the Power System. Harmonic Filter (Passive type Filters) are used as mitigate this t ype of Power Quality Problems.
Through this Paper we come to know about the Harmonics and their significance effect on the system regarding the
Harmonics distortion caused by Non-Linear Loads. Matlab/Simulink Software has been used for the simulation purpo se.
The Result have been obtained with and without installation of filters and then it is observed that after installation of
filters Harmonics of the Current are reduced and Power Quality is improve.
