This paper proposes a hybrid active power filter (HAPF) for 3-phase cap-less inverters to address the high harmonics and low power factor typically caused by small-capacity film capacitors.

This approach not only improves material cost competitiveness through miniaturization but also expands the product's operating range by minimizing reactive power. Experimental verification confirms that the proposed method ensures stable motor drive performance while preventing interference with sensitive communication facilities.
