Meaning Of Harmonics Harmonic refers to the electric quantity whose frequency is an integral multiple of the fundamental wave contained in the current. Generally, it refers to the Fourier series decomposition of the periodic non sinusoidal electric quantity. Except for the electric quantity of the fundamental wave frequency, the electric quantity generated by the current greater than the fundament...
Effects of Harmonics : Increased losses Losses in capacitors The harmonic voltages applied to capacitors cause the flow of currents proportional to the frequency of the harmonics. These currents cause additional losses. Losses in conductors The active power transmitted to a load is a function of the fundamental component I1 of the current. When the current drawn by the load contains harmonics...
Why is the harmonic current on the null line mainly three times? This is due to two reasons: (1) Among the harmonic components generated by single-phase rectifier circuit, the third harmonic is the largest, and the distortion rate of the third harmonic usually reaches more than 80%. (2) The harmonic current of other times will have the effect of canceling on the zero line, onl...
What is power quality? The IEC (1000-2-2/4) standard defines power quality as follows: power quality refers to the physical characteristics of power supply devices that do not interrupt or interfere with users' use of power under normal working conditions. The most serious power quality problems are voltage sags and complete voltage interruptions. In fact, power quality refers to the...
Three-phase lines are common: three-phase three wire, three-phase four wire The three - phase three - wire system is star connection neutral point ungrounded and Angle connection method, the general high - voltage power supply uses three - phase three - wire system, three - phase four - wire is star connection neutral point grounding, low - voltage system uses three - phase four - wire system. &nb...
3 phase load current imbalance In three phase systems, current unbalance is defined as the maximum deviation of any phase current from average divided by average current. Current unbalance can occur due to reasons within the control of the end user or outside the control of end user. Some of the reasons for current unbalance (or imbalance) are: Source voltage from the electric utility is unbalance...
Research background Because the value of harmonic loss is smaller than that of fundamental loss and the calculation is difficult, it is generally ignored in the theoretical calculation of line loss. However, with the development of power electronics technology, the nature of power generation and electrical equipment is becoming increasingly complex, and various nonlinear components put into ...
What is EMC testing EMC test (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) refers to the comprehensive evaluation of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and anti-interference capability (EMS) of electronic products. It is one of the most important indicators of product quality. The measurement of electromagnetic compatibility consists of test sites and test instruments. The purpose of EMC test is ...
