Understanding Telephone Interference Factor
Published by David Horning, March 2013. Power Monitors, Inc., White Paper: Understanding Telephone Interference Factor Abstract. Harmonic distortion that is produced from power conversion systems can cause interference on analog telephone lines. The degree of telephone interference can be expressed in terms of the Telephone Interference Factor (TIF). This white paper will discuss how interference isContinue reading “Understanding Telephone Interference Factor”

Steps to Find the Source of Harmonics
Published by David Horning, November 2014. Power Monitors, Inc., White Paper: Steps to Find the Source of Harmonics Abstract. Harmonics are “Non-Linear” current or voltage in an electrical system. Any waveform that deviates from a perfect sine wave has harmonics. Any nonlinear load draws harmonic currents and therefore produces harmonic voltage distortion, by producing non-sinusoidalContinue reading “Steps to Find the Source of Harmonics”

6 Techniques for Controlling Harmonic Distortion
Published by Simon Mugo, EE Power – Technical Articles: 6 Techniques for Controlling Harmonic Distortion, May 15, 2023. Harmonics–currents or voltages at a multiple of the power systems’ fundamental frequencies– originate from non-linear loads in power systems. This article will introduce six techniques necessary to reduce harmonic distortion. The earliest method of controlling problems associated withContinue reading “6 Techniques for Controlling Harmonic Distortion”
Combining Waveforms in a Power System to Cancel Harmonic Components
Published by Alex Roderick, EE Power – Technical Articles: Combining Waveforms in a Power System to Cancel Harmonic Components, August 23, 2021. Harmonics can cause transformers to fail, motors to burn out, circuit breakers to trip (nuisance tripping), and neutral conductors and other parts of a power distribution system to overheat. Severe overheating leads to electricalContinue reading “Combining Waveforms in a Power System to Cancel Harmonic Components”
