Harmonic Analysis on Distorted Waveforms

Not everyone is concerned with their products’ power system voltage and current harmonics – but they should be.

From an engineering perspective, harmonics produce excessive heat that causes significant damage to equipment and results in inefficient operation and issues with compliance. From a business perspective, being compliant is an absolute requirement for entry into global markets! 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 can expect to:

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