65 - Is the utility sending me harmonics?

• Source of Harmonics: We clarify that harmonics can be generated both by the utility and the user's equipment, but most commonly, they originate from the user's harmonic-producing loads such as drives. This emphasizes the need for users to manage their equipment to control harmonic currents. • Impact of Harmonics: We explain that harmonic currents can distort voltage, which is exacerbated by adding more harmonic-producing equipment. This distortion can affect the overall power quality, highlighting the importance of monitoring and managing harmonic levels. • Harmonic Management: Controlling the flow of harmonic currents will help you manage harmonics effectively. This involves understanding the source of harmonics and taking measures to mitigate their impact, underscoring the proactive role users must play in maintaining power quality. Eaton’s Harmonic Frequently Asked Question’s FAQs collection of videos hosted by Dan Carnovale can help individuals from all different levels of education understand what harmonics are and explain many different solutions for mitigating harmonics on an electrical power system. Dan Carnovale P.E. has decades of experience in power quality and harmonics and is a recognized electrical industry expert in power quality and power systems. He is the creator and director of Eaton’s Power Systems Experience Centers (PSEC) in Pittsburgh PA and Houston TX. The PSECs provide visitors live demonstrations of hands-on power quality and harmonic situations and solutions can be seen first-hand in the Power Quality Lab.
