Can someone explain to me how a low pass harmonic filter works in laymens terms? I would really appreciate it?

A Low Pass Harmonic Filter is an electronic device used to reduce high-frequency noise or harmonics in a circuit. It allows low-frequency signals to pass through while filtering out or attenuating high-frequency signals.
Harmonic distortion in a circuit can cause interference, voltage fluctuations, and damage to electronic devices. A Low Pass Harmonic Filter helps to reduce these issues and improve the overall efficiency and performance of the circuit.
A Low Pass Harmonic Filter is typically composed of inductors and capacitors that form a series of LC circuits. These circuits create a low impedance path for low-frequency signals and a high impedance path for high-frequency signals, effectively filtering out the harmonics.
Using a Low Pass Harmonic Filter can improve power quality, reduce electromagnetic interference, and protect sensitive electronic equipment. It can also help to comply with regulatory standards for harmonic distortion levels.
Low Pass Harmonic Filters are commonly used in power systems, electrical grids, renewable energy systems, and industrial equipment to reduce harmonic distortion and improve overall system performance.
