Harmonic Basics
● What are harmonics?●Proliferated by power semiconductor devices
●Converts power (AC to DC)●A harmonic is a component of a periodic wave
having a frequency that is an integer multiple of the fundamental power line frequency
●Characteristic harmonics are the predominate harmonics seen by the power distribution system
●Predicted by the following equation:●Hc = np +/- 1●hC = characteristic harmonics to be expected●n = an integer from 1,2,3,4,5, etc.●p = number of pulses or rectifiers in circuit

Harmonic Basics
● Why a concern?●Current distortion
●Added heating, reduced capacity in :– Transformers– Conductors and cables
●Heating effect proportional to harmonic order squared●Nuisance tripping of electronic circuit breakers (thermal overload)●Blown fuses●Detrimental to generators
– Heating of windings●Detrimental to UPS
– UPS can’t supply the current
Loads
Ih
Vh = Ih x Zh
Schneider Electric 8- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009
Harmonic Basics●Voltage distortion
● Interference with other electronic loads●Faulting to destruction
●Creates harmonic currents in linear loads●Generator regulators can’t function
●Shut downs●Not compatible with standard PF caps
●Potential resonance condition ●Excessive voltage
●Overheating of PF correction capacitors● Tripping of PF protection equipment●Shutdown / damage to electronic equipment

Total Power Factor
TPF = (DPF) x (Distortion factor)
DPF =KW
KVAf= Cos φ
Distortion Factor =1
1 + THD(I)2
TPF = Total or true power factor
DPF = Displacement power factor
Distortion Factor = Harmonic power factor
= Cos δ
Schneider Electric 10- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009
Total Power Factor Example
●Variable frequency drive (PWM type)●DPF = .95
● THD(I) = 90% ●(no DC choke & no input line reactor)
●Distortion Factor =
●TPF = .95 x .7433 = .7061
11 + .92
= .7433
Schneider Electric 11- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009
How are harmonics handled today?●Mixed bag of objectives
●Basis of compliance is mixed– THDi, THDv, TDD?– IEEE 519-1992?
●Where is PCC?●What level of harmonics is to be attained?●How to obtain compliance?
– Sometimes defined– Sometimes open ended
●Validation ●Poorly defined●By each equipment vendor●No ‘Total Responsibility’ for harmonics
●Has the User been protected where it matters – inside the facility
Schneider Electric 12- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009
Typical Present Situation●Specifications direct manufacturers of nonlinear loads to comply within
equipment specifications●Manufacturers of nonlinear loads have other concerns
●Sell standard equipment at competitive prices●Leads to minimized harmonic solutions●Leads to misleading information about harmonic performance●Leads to operational difficulties
– e.g. Can’t operate on backup generators/UPS● Force the IEEE 519 discussion to the utility PCC
●Many types of solutions are not compatible●Each manufacturer does his own thing without regard to other solutions●Approaches are for ‘my’ equipment only● ‘My’ simulation is for ‘my’ equipment only – I can’t include the others
● ‘Total’ solution not achieved●User has system that exceeds specification objectives●Consulting engineers can’t get overall compliance
Schneider Electric 13- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009
ANSI Standard IEEE 519-1992● Issues addressed:
● THD(V) delivered by utility to user (Chapter 11)●THD(V) must be < 5% [< 69 KV systems]
●Defines the amount of TDD a user can cause (Chapter 10)●Based upon size of user in relation to power source●Table 10.3 for systems < 69 kV
●Defines limits for voltage notches caused by SCR rectifiers – Table 10.2
●Defines PCC (point of common coupling)
Schneider Electric 14- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009
IEEE 519-1992
●Defines current distortion as TDD● Total Demand Distortion
●Largest amplitude of harmonic current occurs at maximum load of nonlinear device – if electrical system can handle this it can handle all lower amplitudes●Always referenced to full load current●Effective meaning of current distortion
●Defines voltage distortion as THD● Total harmonic voltage distortion
●Does not use THD(I)● Total harmonic current distortion● Instrument measurement (instantaneous values)●Uses measured load current to calculate THD(I)

• TDD and THD(I) are not the same except at 100% load
• As load decreases, TDD decreases while THD(I) increases.
• Example:

Harmonic Standards
• Most harmonic problems are not at the PCC with utility. Typically harmonic problem occur:
• Within a facility• With generator & UPS operation• Where nonlinear loads are concentrated
• Need to protect the user from self by moving the harmonic mitigation requirements to where harmonic loads are located

Inductors/Transformers/DC Bus ChokesDescription:Converter-applied inductors or isolation transformers.●Pros:
● Inexpensive & reliable● Transient protection for loads● 1st Z yields big TDD reduction (90% to 35% w/3% Z)● Complimentary to active harmonic control
●Cons:● Limited reduction of TDD at equipment terminals after 1st Z● Reduction dependent on source Z
Schneider Electric 23- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009
5th Harmonic Filter (Trap Filter)• Inductor (Lp) and Capacitor (C) provide low impedance source for a single frequency (5th)
• Must add more tuned filters to filter more frequencies
• Inductor Ls required to detune filter from electrical system and other filters
• If Ls not present, filter is sink for all 5th
harmonics in system
• If Ls not present, resonance with other tuned filters possible
• Injects leading reactive current (KVAR) at all times – may not need

●Parallel connected
Schneider Electric 34- Power Quality Correction Group – May 2009
Comparison of 18-P VFD to AccuSine PCS + standard VFD
●Footprint required●AccuSine PCS+ Std VFD less than 18-P VFD
(w/autotransformer) for all conditions●Heat losses
●AccuSine PCS+ Std VFD less than 18-P VFD ●Exception at single units of 50-75 HP, advantage 18-P VFD
●Less costly to operate AccuSine PCS+ Std VFD● Less site cooling required with AccuSine PCS + Std VFD
●Price (first cost)●When more than one VFD, AccuSine PCS + Std VFD always
beats 18-P VFD● If only one VFD involved, 300-500 HP sizes favor 18-P VFD

AccuSine PCS Installation Considerations● For Optimal Performance:
● Impedance – 3% input line reactors (minimum) on every nonlinear load● Transformer, 3% DC bus choke for PWM VFD or long power cables (not encapsulated type) can substitute for line reactors● Standardizes selection of AccuSine ●Diode rectifiers: Need to limit rms current at load (limits rise of Ihrms at load)●Thyristor rectifiers: Need to protect snubbers (capacitors) on thyristor
●No capacitors downstream of CT
