Every, consumer friendly equipment is power electronic controlled in one-way or other. The current drawn by all of these equipments are generally non-sinusoidal in nature, and are distorting the voltage wave as well. Many solutions proposed so far, though found useful in some cases have never become a system solution for the power quality deterioration problem. This paper proposes a unique innovative solution to these problems by a correction at the generation level by changing the shape of source wave keeping in view the nature of new loads. This paper presents PSPICE® simulated results to justify the need for source wave shape change, which will act as a system level solution to the limit peak currents drawn by the new generation power electronic loads. © 2006 IEEE.Harmonic torqueNon-sinusoidal excitationPower electronic loadPower qualityTHD
