Harmonic Effects on Industrial Facilities
Most industrial facilities in today’s marketplace have a high percentage of non-linear loads. As a result, these loads add harmonic currents to the power system, resulting in harmonic distortions in voltage. So, what does this mean? How are non-linear loads affecting your facility? In short, problems arise as components heat up, ultimately causing malfunctions to […]
Harmonic Studies | Why Do I Need One?
Harmonics? Power Quality Disturbances? The US standard electrical grid runs at a frequency 60Hz. So, what does this mean? To clarify, 60Hz means that the flow of current changes direction 60 times per second. A harmonic(s) is defined as the content of the signal whose frequency is an integer multiple of the 60hz systems. Power […]
