Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Three-phase alternating current systems experience harmonic distortions due to odd order harmonics that constructively interfere, leading to reduced efficiency and shortened lifespan of electronics, as these harmonics create oscillations and heat in circuitry.
Innovation Solution
An alternating current neutral and ground inductive electromagnetic rectification unit, comprising a pair of coils connected in parallel to the circuit's neutral and ground, establishes a magnetic field to cancel out odd order harmonics, referred to as redaction, thereby maintaining proper polarity and phase.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If three-phase power is used to provide constant torque and power, then efficiency is improved, but odd order harmonics constructively interfere creating oscillations on the neutral
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies magnetic fields generated by redactors (coils connected to neutral and ground) to create a counteracting magnetic environment that transforms the harmful harmonic oscillations into beneficial cancellation effects. The magnetic field interacts with the harmonic currents to deconstructively interfere with them, converting the harmful harmonic energy into a neutralizing force that restores power quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The redactor coils serve as an intermediary element between the harmful harmonic distortion and the desired clean power state. By introducing these coils connected to neutral and ground, the system creates a mediating magnetic field that facilitates the cancellation of odd order harmonics without disrupting the fundamental three-phase power delivery.
2Ease of operation
If odd order harmonics are allowed to oscillate on the neutral, then circuit operation is maintained, but power factor decreases and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic field from the redactors converts the harmful effect of harmonic oscillations (which reduce power factor) into a beneficial cancellation mechanism. The field interacts with the harmonic currents to deconstructively interfere with them, transforming energy that would otherwise be wasted as heat and poor power factor into a neutralizing effect that improves overall efficiency.
3Ease of operation
If harmonic distortion is permitted in the circuit, then appliance operation is maintained, but lifespan of electronics is decreased due to heat and distortion
Solution Approach 1:
The redactors are installed upstream in the electrical system to preemptively cancel harmonic distortion before it reaches connected electronics. By establishing the counteracting magnetic field at the service entrance or distribution panel, the system performs preliminary harmonic cancellation that protects downstream devices from exposure to harmful oscillations and heat-generating currents.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic field environment created by the redactors serves as a protective cushion against harmonic distortion. This field acts as a buffer that absorbs and neutralizes harmful harmonic energy before it can penetrate into sensitive electronic equipment, thereby cushioning devices from the damaging effects of heat and current irregularities.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively reduces total harmonic distortion, increasing power factor and efficiency, and extending the lifespan of connected electronics by deconstructively interfering with harmonic distortions at the neutral, thus minimizing wasteful power consumption and heat generation.
Implementation Method 1
a magnetic field is arisen by each said redactor connected in circuit to a phased power source of alternating current
Implementation Method 2
said magnetic field thereby established and maintained to cancel out odd order harmonics that otherwise constructively interfere in circuitry
Implementation Method 3
The first and second redactors therefore redact the harmonic distortion from the current, maintaining proper polarity and phase off the mains

AI summary
An alternating current neutral and ground inductive electromagnetic rectification unit includes a first and second reactor connectable to a neutral and a ground of an existing circuit respectively. The first redactor includes a first pair of inductive coils, each coil disposed interior to a nonconductive tube. The second redactor includes a second pair of inductive coils, each coil also disposed interior to a nonconductive tube. The first pair of inductive coils are connected together in parallel, and also connected at opposing extremes terminating the neutral. The second pair of inductive coils are also connected in parallel, at opposing extremes of the ground. The first and second redactors are surrounded by an insulating matrix set within the housing. Once connected to the ground and neutral, the first and second redactors establish a magnetic field that redacts harmonic interference emerging on the neutral thereby increasing efficiency and power factor across the circuit.
