Published by Wesco | Anixter, Wesco International. What are harmonics? In an electric power system, a harmonic is a voltage or current at a multiple of the fundamental frequency of the system. Harmonics can best be described as the shape or characteristics of a voltage or current waveform relative to its fundamental frequency. When waveforms deviate from a sinewaveContinue reading “An Overview of Harmonics in Electrical Systems”

Evaluating Direction of Harmonics – Power Harmonics
Published by Unipower AB, Metallgatan 4C, 44132 Alingsås, Sweden. Email: info@unipower.se One important issue is how to trace the source of harmonics. The example below shows harmonic filters connected until 11.00 and there is no voltage distortion as expected. After 11.00 the filters were disconnected due to a fault and voltage harmonics can be seen.Continue reading “Evaluating Direction of Harmonics – Power Harmonics”
