Harmonics are a vital component of a power system since they affect the quality of the electricity and how things work. Excessive harmonic levels can cause parts to overheat, limiting the device’s lifespan. Harmonics modifies the pure sine wave produced by a perfect power source. Harmonic distortion impairs a company’s capacity to generate products and conduct business. Below are a few examples of how harmonic distortion affects business.
Harmonics are produced by loads that do not follow a straight line and draw current in quick, abrupt bursts. These pulses create distorted current waves, which circulate as harmonic currents throughout the power system. Harmonics affect electricity reliability and efficiency in the industry. The vast majority of businesses’ electrical systems can withstand up to 15% nonlinear loads without a problem.
Nonlinear loads that account for more than 15% of the total load may cause detrimental harmonic distortions. As a result, it is critical to keep an eye on harmonic levels to ensure they do not become excessive. As a result, harmonic study, and analysis help in the detection of possible threats and causes. This can help to eliminate harmonic-related concerns during the design process, lowering the risk of unwanted results.
Although harmonic concerns are uncommon, a harmonic analysis must be undertaken as soon as possible to guarantee that they are not too serious. The stages of the harmonic level are as follows:
