2 Agenda What are Harmonics? Standards Compliance How to reduce Harmonics? Solution comparison Schneider-Electric Solution Conclusion 2

3 What are Harmonics? Current Voltage Amps, Volts 250Hz 2,5Mz Fluctuations that occur at multiple frequency Harmonic Ranks Harmonic currents are not useful power 3

4 What are Harmonics? Ideal Wave form Low Frequency Perturbations Real waveform 4

5 What are Harmonics? A non-sinusoidal signal is equivalent to the sum of its sinusoidal harmonics Key values Total Harmonic Distortion THDI% = I 2 2 I 2 3 I I I 2 n *100 RMS Current I rms = h h 1 I 2 h 5

6 Why be concerned about Harmonics? 3 major Negative effects Energy Efficiency Increase I RMS Reduced Power Factor Oversizing Transformer ( I RMS) Cable size, Circuit breaker Elect. Perturbations Standards compliance issues Capacitor bank Resonances Interference with electrical device High Cost Poor Performance 6

7 What generate Harmonics? Non Linear Load provides I & V distortion onto the main Industrial Equipment Variable Speed Drive Welding machines Rectifier Bridge Domestic Equipment Tv, PC Fluorescent lamps supply Office Equipment Pc, Printers, IT Server Battery charger, UPS I input I input 7
