Harmonic flow analysis – An abundance of power electronics in industrial networks increased the number of nonlinear loads and as a result more harmonics are generated. If the total harmonic distortion exceeds the set limit, it must be mitigated using filters. Harmonic flow study is carried out to determine if harmonic voltages and currents are at acceptable levels if not a correct filter should be installed. When the calculations are complete hovering over an object harmonic results are displayed in a graph.
Application
- Lessen damages due to excessive harmonic currents in transformers and capacitors
- Ensures sensitive electronic equipment will not malfunction due to excessive harmonic voltage distortion.
