A shuntcapacitor is employed for shunting higher order harmonic components. A single-phase passive voltage regulator provides the needed voltage bucking to prevent over voltage at the load terminals of the filter. The filter provides an alternate path for the harmonic current generated by non-linear loads. The over voltage caused by the increased capacitive reactance is controlled by either capacitor switching or by the use of the passive voltage regulator or a combination of the two. Capacitor switching is dependent upon load conditions.

A transfer function space vector is calculated as a function of a determined mains power supply voltage space vector, a mains power supply current space vector, a compensator current space vector and of an intermediate circuit voltage which is present on the capacitive store. As a result of which the pulse converter generates a compensator voltage space vector on the main power supply side as a function of the intermediate circuit voltage.

Thus, in this Figure 2 embodiment, one wire includes a conductive metal, e.g., copper, and one other has a different conductive metal, e.g., silver or aluminum. Further, wires 23, 24 and 25 are of different gauges, such as 10 gauge and 8 gauge.

[0048] When connected to the other components such as those described in Figure 1, encapsulation is preferred. When more than one device set, such as doubling or tripling all of the components for multiple DC hook ups, separators are employed. These separators may be doped.

[0049] When the separators are doped, they may be doped with any workable doping agent and these are well known in the circuit board doping industry. In preferred embodiments, the dope is selected from the group consisting of gallium nitride, gallium arsenide, boron nitride, boron arsenide, graphite, graphene and carbon. In some embodiments, the separator components are dielectric film separator components. Separators may be thin plastic film, paper, paper / film composite, wax paper, or other known insulative and dielectric separators. In some cases, coatings of transformer varnish may be used. Many of the transformer varnishes are polyester resin-based. These treatments and the addition of doping agents may be achieved by vapor deposition, spray, coating, dipping, film application (heat weld, glue, etc.). The dope may be applied directly or in solution.

[0050] In some cases, graphene may be applied to the separators or to the cores e.g., aluminum or other metal toroids. Graphene is a “miracle” coating known as a nano coating, sometimes only one or two or three atoms of carbon thick. It is commercially available, but rare and expensive. As recently described by the United States Department of Energy (August 30, 2017, USDOE News Release) titled “Controlling Traffic On the Electron Highway:Researching Graphene”, graphene creates a very powerful magnetic field that accelerates the movement of electrons. Thus, in the context of the present invention, the flow of electrons may be more rapid with separators that utilize graphene, speeding up the corrective effects of the present invention reactor by rearranging the flow faster to reduce harmonics and other deficiencies and irregularities. Although not independently verified, it is believed that the particular combination of present invention three phase windings in conjunction with graphene separators between the cores may generate a small population of muons. Muons may contribute to increased wave accuracy and additional energy savings.

[0051] Insulative end caps or encapsulation may be used to isolate and protect the present invention reactor from external physical and electrical interference. This is done after windings are completed, such as those described herein. In some preferred embodiments, the windings are or include a plurality of windings wrapped around a stacked group of hollow centered continuous loop components to pass through the hollow center thereof, said windings including at least two hot wires and at least one ground wire. The encapsulation may be accomplished with epoxy resin dipping or coating, or with fiberglass coatings or other known encapsulation coatings and seals. One technique involves assembling the present invention reactors in metal or other “boxes” with the other components of an energy management device (energy saving device) and pouring epoxy into the box to simultaneously encapsulate the entire contents. Alternatively, a present invention reactor may be coated or encapsulated before assembling with its other components.

[0052] Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6 have some (many) identical feature components and thus to reduce duplicity, all the individual components shown in these Figures will be set forth below in a single list, wherein like numbers and letter numbers that are identical have identical characteristics / values set out below in the next paragraph.
