A2 Harmonic analysis
The harmonic analysis is performed according IEC 61000-4-7 over 10 cycles at 50Hz or 12 cycles at
60Hz. If a measured quantity is available depends on the selected system.

Harmonics
Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental or system frequency. They arise if non-linear loads, such as
RPM regulated drives, rectifiers, thyristor controlled systems or fluorescent lamps are present in the
power system. Thus undesired side effects occur, such as additional thermal stress to operational
resources or electrical mains, which lead to an advanced aging or even damage. Also the reliability of
sensitive loads can be affected and unexplainable disturbances may occur. In industrial networks the
image of the harmonics gives good information about the kind of loads connected. See also:

Increase of reactive power due to harmonic currents
TDD (Total Demand Distortion)
The complete harmonic content of the currents is calculated additionally as Total Demand Distortion,
briefly TDD. This value is scaled to the rated current or rated power. Only this way it's possible to estimate
the influence of the current harmonics on the connected equipment correctly.
Maximum values
The maximum values of the harmonic analysis arise from the monitoring of THD and TDD. The maximum
values of individual harmonics are not monitored separately, but are stored if a maximum value of THD or
TDD is detected. The image of the maximum harmonics therefore always corresponds to the dedicated
THD or TDD.
The accuracy of the harmonic analysis strongly depends on the quality of the current and voltage
transformers possibly used. In the harmonics range transformers normally change both, the
amplitude and the phase of the signals to measure. It's valid: The higher the frequency of the
harmonic, the higher its damping or phase shift.
