Harmonic Distortion & Measurements on Distorted Waveforms

On-Demand Recording

Why should you be concerned with your product’s power system voltage and current harmonics?

From an engineering perspective, harmonics produce excessive heat in equipment that causes significant damage and results in inefficient operation. From a business perspective, harmonics lead to reduced system capacity and increased maintenance, downtimes, and costs.

To minimize or eliminate these issues and establish acceptable levels of harmonics, numerous power quality standards with specifications and limits for harmonic distortion, such as IEEE 519-2014 and IEC61000-3-2, have been introduced.

During this webinar, attendees will:

  • Gain knowledge on the inner workings of harmonics
  • Learn best practices for accurately measuring harmonics
  • Recognize and distinguish the critical difference between DFT and FFT
  • Discover important measurement tradeoffs across various test equipment
