Harmonics: Not a Problem Unless They Become One Harmonics in modern power systems are now considered “the new normal” due to the widespread use of non-linear loads. While harmonics can lead to issues such as overheating, overloads, and resonance, they don’t always pose immediate problems. The key is understanding when harmonics are actually causing harm. When Should You Ac...
As cities globally grapple with mounting waste volumes, incineration power generation offers a dual solution—waste reduction and clean energy. Yet, the complex electrical loads from machinery like carding systems, needle acupuncture units, and non-woven ovens introduce disruptive harmonics that undermine efficiency. These distortions manifest as overheated transformers, melted fuses, and pre...
I. Why Are Non-Linear Loads So Ubiquitous in Our Daily Lives? The fundamental reason is technological advancement and our relentless pursuit of efficiency and control. The core of non-linear loads is various power electronic devices that precisely control electrical energy through rapid switching. Here are the specific reasons for their ubiquity: Demand for Energy Savings and Efficiency:...
