This article encompasses a technical and mathematical description of the six-pulse drives used in industry and the verification of the percentage of current harmonics produced by each of them. An analysis of the total harmonic content produced by the six-pulse drives commonly used at Bralima RD Congo will be carried out, for this purpose the harmonic spectra given by the drive manufacturer are simulated in ETAP software to subsequently run a harmonics stream and assess compliance with technical service quality indices. In the event of non-compliance, the harmonic mitigation techniques will be plated and verified. The result includes analyzes and simulations based on real Bralima data and a technical guide for mitigating the harmonic currents produced by six-pulse drives is presented.
Author Keywords: Six-pulse drives, load, harmonic content, power quality, harmonic content mitigation.

Abstract
This article encompasses a technical and mathematical description of the six-pulse drives used in industry and the verification of the percentage of current harmonics produced by each of them. An analysis of the total harmonic content produced by the six-pulse drives commonly used at Bralima RD Congo will be carried out, for this purpose the harmonic spectra given by the drive manufacturer are simulated in ETAP software to subsequently run a harmonics stream and assess compliance with technical service quality indices. In the event of non-compliance, the harmonic mitigation techniques will be plated and verified. The result includes analyzes and simulations based on real Bralima data and a technical guide for mitigating the harmonic currents produced by six-pulse drives is presented.
Author Keywords: Six-pulse drives, load, harmonic content, power quality, harmonic content mitigation.
