This paper presents the cost of 480V and 13.8kV passive shunt harmonic filters tuned at 300, 420, 660 and 780 Hz. The cost is presented in function of the kVA of the load served by the filters, the 60Hz reactive power produced by the filter and the total non-60Hz apparent power of the load. The main conclusion of this work is that for nonlinear loads in excess of 1 MVA it is more economical to use filter centers connected on the 13.8kV side.
