A plurality of active filter devices (41, 42, 43) that each have an output connected to a harmonic-generating load device (2) and are capable of generating a compensating current for performing at least one of reduction of a harmonic current of the harmonic-generating load device (2) and improvement of the power factor of the fundamental wave are provided. The plurality of active filter devices (41, 42, 43) provide two or more types of capacities, and the number and combination of operating active filter devices among the active filter devices (41, 42, 43) change in accordance with the magnitude of the compensating current.
