Why is the harmonic current on the null line mainly three times? This is due to two reasons: (1) Among the harmonic components generated by single-phase rectifier circuit, the third harmonic is the largest, and the distortion rate of the third harmonic usually reaches more than 80%. (2) The harmonic current of other times will have the effect of canceling on the zero line, onl...
Research background Because the value of harmonic loss is smaller than that of fundamental loss and the calculation is difficult, it is generally ignored in the theoretical calculation of line loss. However, with the development of power electronics technology, the nature of power generation and electrical equipment is becoming increasingly complex, and various nonlinear components put into ...
Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) Do you have AC motors in your facility?Do these motors need a variable output? The growing popularity of Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) is a key driver of energy efficiency, but Variable Speed Drives cause power quality problems, one of which is the harmonics within power systems. So networks requires more effective means to mitigate harmonics. In C...
What is the power quality problems at sites with welding machines? The most common power quality problems associated with welding machines are voltage sags, harmonic pollution, and electromagnetic interference. Voltage sags can cause the welding machine to operate at a lower than expected output, resulting in poor weld quality. Harmonic distortion pollution can cause interference with other equipm...
What is difference between THD and TDD? While power electronics have created considerable energy savings, they can distort the quality of electrical power delivered through the building they serve, reducing the effectiveness and life span of the power electronics contained within that building. THD is described as the instantaneous value of the ratio of the root-mean-square (rms) of the harmonic c...
What are scenarios causing power factor displacements 1. Poorly designed electrical systems with inadequate power factor correction equipment. 2. Large inductive loads such as motors, transformers, and generators that cause lagging power factor. 3. Unbalanced three-phase loads that cause phase displacement of the current and voltage waveforms. 4. Unbalanced single-phase loads that cause current an...
Reactive currents backstreaming from Solar to Utility Reactive currents backstreaming(from Solar plant) in power supply system is not only harmful but also expensive for financial purposes. Parasite currents in both electricity transmission lines and equipment of solar power-stations cause financial losses because of converting electric energy to thermal (thus making generation amount lower, that ...
Power Quality Power electronics make modern life possible and enable all other areas of innovation. Although stable power delivery seems like a simple problem, the design of a high-efficiency power transmission and conversion system is prone to several problems that reduce efficiency by reducing delivered power. Nonlinear components are needed in power electronics to control the flow of power and ...
