Harmonic transfer from de-side to ac-side and vice-versa through a thr
ee-phase bridge converter is treated by using space vectors. The depen
dency of the relative frequency of a harmonic and its sequence (positi
ve/negative) is illustrated. It is shown that the derived relationship
s are valid for both voltage-source and current-source converters. The
reby, the relationships for the frequency transformation through conve
rters are also valid for both voltage and current harmonics. The analy
tical method is validated by digital simulations with EMTP.
