The ABCs of Harmonics and VFDs

Have you wondered what effect VFDs have on power quality? And what you can do about it?
 
Join us as Oliver Voumard, Application Engineer at YASKAWA presents a primer on harmonics & VFDs.

What you can expect:

• Discussion on harmonics in context to the AC electrical power grid with a focus on non-linear loads and their contribution to line distortion.
• Review terminology pertaining to harmonic analysis such as current and voltage harmonic distortion (iTHD & vTHD), as well as current total demand distortion (TDD).
• Introduce commonly used passive/active mitigation methods and the IEEE519 standard for harmonic evaluation at a point of common coupling.
