This menu displays metered current harmonics values. The "SRC 1" text is replaced by the name was programmed for the
associated source (see

for the total harmonic distortion (THD) and 2nd to 25th harmonics per phase.

VOLTAGE HARMONICS
This menu displays metered voltage harmonics values. The “SRC 1” text is replaced by the programmed name for the
associated source (see the
SETTINGS

menu).
To extract the 2nd to 25th voltage harmonics, each harmonic is computed on a per-phase basis, where:
N = 64 is the number of samples per cycle
ω
0
= 2
π
f is the angular frequency based on the system frequency (50 or 60 Hz)
k = 1, 2,..., N – 1 is the index over one cycle for the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
m is the last sample number for the sliding window
h = 1, 2,..., 25 is the harmonic number
The short-time Fourier transform is applied to the unfiltered signal:
Eq. 6-3
The harmonics are a percentage of the fundamental signal obtained as a ratio of harmonic amplitude to fundamental
amplitude multiplied by 100%. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the total harmonic content to the
fundamental:
