Current and voltage harmonics are often used interchangeably. At most places, only harmonics is quoted and whether the values pertain to current or voltage is not mentioned. The differentiation can be done on the basis of their origin. What is Total Harmonic Distortion? The current and voltage harmonics in a system are often expressed as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The total harmonic d...
In modern industrial processes, the number of nonlinear loads - known to be a major source of current harmonics - is constantly growing. At the same time, the number of reactive-power compensators operating in these networks is growing too. Though the compensators are not the source of harmonic distortions, they may cause high amplifications of harmonics by creating resonance conditions. This can ...
Power Quality Concept IEEE's technical definition: Qualified power quality means that the provided power and grounding system are suitable for the normal operation of sensitive equipment. The concepts of power quality problems raised by modern power systems: Any power problems that cause damage to user equipment or abnormal operation due to voltage, current, and frequency deviations. IEEE51...
Background Hankook is a world famous tire brand from South Korea. Since entering China in 1996, the company has invested more than 600 million US dollars to establish a complete production, logistics and sales network system. It is a high-tech factory with an annual output of 10 million tires in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. Due to the low power factor in the on-site distribution system, the company urgently...
Power Quality Problems With the in-depth application of power electronic technology, the automation of the petrochemical industry has been continuously improved, and the nature of the load has also undergone qualitative changes. The increase of nonlinear and impact loads has brought about voltage flicker, three-phase imbalance, and excessive reactive power consumption. , harmonics and a series of ...
Background The input terminals of switching power supply and ups of Chinatelecom cloud computing Guizhou Information Park data center generate harmonic current, and the final harmonic current is collected on the general busbar. A large amount of harmonic current will cause the following harm to the communication room. Harmonic current will interfere with the communication signals of adjacent condu...
Power Quality Problems in Data Center Due to the uninterrupted power supply of the load in the data center room, a large number of UPS, switching power supplies and inverter air conditioners are used. The input stages of these devices are all three-phase arrangements, which generate a lot of harmonics when used. The switching power supply and UPS equipment first rectify the AC into DC, and then co...
Power Quality Problems There are a large number of power electronic components in medical equipment. The more common equipment are MRI (nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus), CT machine, X-ray machine, DSA (cardiovascular imaging machine) and so on. Among them, MRI will generate radio frequency pulses and alternating magnetic fields to generate nuclear magnetic resonance, and radio frequency pulse...
