A tuned filter for connection to a busbar in a high voltage electric power system. The filter incorporates a variable inductor (2); the variable inductor (2) comprising a main winding (4), auxiliary windings (6-12) and switching means (14-20) associated with each auxiliary winding (6). The auxiliary windings are arranged to act in inductive series with respect to the main winding, and the switching means (14) are used to selectively connect the auxiliary windings in electrical series with the main winding, so allowing the inductance of the inductor to be varied. To achieve enhanced variability of the inductance (2), each auxiliary winding (6-12) has a number of turns substantially equal to x2 (n- l), where n is a positive integer corresponding to the position of each auxiliary winding in the inductive series (6-12) of auxiliary windings and x is also a positive integer. The switching means (14-20) are preferably constituted such that each auxiliary winding (6-12) is selectively connectable to the main winding (4) in any one of three connection modes, comprising a first connection mode in which the auxiliary winding assists the inductance of the main winding, a second connection mode in which the auxiliary winding opposes the inductance of the main winding and a third connection mode in which the auxiliary winding is bypassed with respect to the main winding.
