PQ Analysis: Flicker, Transients and Noise

Published by testguy, November 23, 2019. Website: testguy.net Flicker, Transients and Noise Repetitive voltage reductions in lighting circuits can be detected by the human eye, a phenomena known as “flicker.” The term flicker refers to a very specific problem related to human perception of light produced by incandescent light bulbs, not necessarily general voltage fluctuations. Some commonContinue reading “PQ Analysis: Flicker, Transients and Noise”
