Selected Aspects of Electrical Equipment Operation with Respect to Power Quality and EMC
Published by Paweł A. MAZUREK, Lublin University of Technology, Institute of Electrical Engineering and Electrotechnologies Abstract. The effectiveness of measures to improve the quality of electricity and the electromagnetic compatibility of electrical equipment is linked to limiting the disturbances introduced by receivers to the power grid and depends on the identification of such interference. TheContinue reading “Selected Aspects of Electrical Equipment Operation with Respect to Power Quality and EMC”
Main Effects of Harmonics in Electrical Installations
Published by Electrical Installation Wiki, Chapter M. Power harmonics management – Main effects of harmonics in electrical installations Effects of harmonics – Resonance The simultaneous use of capacitive and inductive devices in distribution networks may result in parallel or series resonance. The origin of the resonance is the very high or very low impedance values atContinue reading “Main Effects of Harmonics in Electrical Installations”
Harmonic Measurement in Electrical Networks
Published by Electrical Installation Wiki, Chapter M. Power harmonics management – Harmonic measurement in electrical networks Procedures for harmonic measurement Harmonic measurements are carried out on industrial or commercial sites: • Preventively, to obtain an overall idea on distribution-network status (network mapping),• In view of corrective action, to determine the origin of a disturbance and determineContinue reading “Harmonic Measurement in Electrical Networks”
Billing Measurements in the High and Extra-High Voltage Network taking into Account the New Frequency Classes According to IEC 61869-1 ED2 (AFDIS)
Published by Roland Buerger (Senseleq B.V.), Dr. Thomas Heid (CONDIS SA) Internationally, it is not easy to specify the range of high voltage exactly. The boundary between medium and high voltage is between 30 kV and 100 kV, depending on local and historical conditions. In the current version of EN 50160 from 2020, the voltageContinue reading “Billing Measurements in the High and Extra-High Voltage Network taking into Account the New Frequency Classes According to IEC 61869-1 ED2 (AFDIS)”
Interharmonics: What They Are, Where They Come From and What They Do
Published by Michael B. Marz, American Transmission Company, Waukesha, WI Email: mmarz@atcllc.com INTRODUCTION The use of sophisticated power electronics and communication systems to improve power system efficiency, flexibility and reliability is increasing interharmonic distortion and adding equipment sensitive to that distortion to the system. Knowledge of interharmonics, their sources, effects, measurement, limits and mitigation, willContinue reading “Interharmonics: What They Are, Where They Come From and What They Do”

Definition and Origin of Harmonics
Published by Electrical Installation Wiki, Chapter M. Power harmonics management – Definition and origin of harmonics Definition of Harmonics The presence of harmonics in electrical systems means that current and voltage are distorted and deviate from sinusoidal waveforms. Harmonic currents are caused by non-linear loads connected to the distribution system. A load is said toContinue reading “Definition and Origin of Harmonics”
Detect and Eliminate Harmonics: Why?
Published by Electrical Installation Wiki, Chapter M. Power harmonics management – Detect and eliminate harmonics: why? Harmonic Disturbances Harmonics flowing in distribution networks represent disturbances in the flow of electricity. The quality of electrical power is deteriorated, and the efficiency of the system is decreased. Here are the main risks linked to harmonics: • OverloadContinue reading “Detect and Eliminate Harmonics: Why?”
