Abstract: Utility power system harmonic problems can often be solved using a comprehensive approach including site surveys, harmonic measurements, and computer simulations. This case study presents the results for a commercial facility harmonic evaluation. The simulations were completed using the PSCAD program. The analysis evaluates the effects of transformer connections to determine the har...
Harmonics & VFDs: Causes, Solutions, and Key Insights How VFDs Cause Harmonic Issues Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are commonly used to control motor speed and optimize energy consumption in industrial systems. However, VFDs work as nonlinear loads. This means they draw currents that are not smooth, even if the supply voltage is a perfect sine wave. This happens because VFDs change AC power...
