Harmonics in power systems are integer multiples of the fundamental power frequency that distort the voltage and current waveforms. Nonlinear loads such as adjustable speed drives, electronic ballasts, and rectifiers are the primary sources of harmonics. Harmonics can cause overheating of equipment, false relay operations, capacitor failures, and reduced power quality. Standards like IEEE 519 provide limits on allowable harmonic distortion to mitigate its negative effects. Harmonic meters and oscilloscopes are used to measure harmonic levels and identify potential problems.IRJET- Harmonics Reduction using Harmonics Injection Method

This document discusses a current harmonic injection technique to reduce harmonics from induction motor drives used in variable frequency drives (VFDs). VFDs generate harmonics that can cause motor heating, electromagnetic interference, and instrument malfunctions. The technique injects specific harmonics from an inverter circuit into the VFD output to cancel out current harmonics and reduce total harmonic distortion. It uses three bi-directional switches in the injection circuit instead of a traditional zigzag transformer to lower costs and size. Simulation results showed the technique reduced harmonics with a minimal increase in diode power ratings.Harmonics Distortion : What is it, Why is it harmful and how to Control

An inverter converts DC power to AC power by switching the DC input voltage in a predetermined sequence to generate an AC output voltage. It has applications in providing backup power to AC equipment during failures and for controlling the speed of induction motors. A simple square wave inverter uses transistors as switches to alternately pass the DC voltage to generate an AC waveform. Harmonics filtering is needed as the inverter output contains harmonics. An LC filter is used to reduce high frequency harmonics. The inverter can vary both the frequency and voltage of the AC output by adjusting the input DC voltage and switching period.Effects of Harmonics on Customer Equipment

The document discusses power system harmonics, which are non-sinusoidal currents and voltages that can negatively impact power systems. It defines linear and non-linear loads, explaining that non-linear loads produce harmonic currents. These currents flow through system impedances and result in distorted voltages. Passive and active harmonic mitigation techniques are used to reduce harmonics. Passive techniques include adding series reactors, tuned filters, and using higher pulse converters. Tuned filters divert harmonic currents through a low impedance path. Higher pulse converters like 12-pulse and 24-pulse configurations reduce harmonics by using phase shifting transformers. The document provides detailed explanations and diagrams of various passive harmonic filters and higher pulse converters.Ad

This document evaluates cable parameters for variable frequency drive (VFD) applications. It examines different cable types, including PVC-nylon cables which are commonly used but can be misapplied for VFDs. The document tests cables designed for VFDs, such as XLPE insulated cables with foil/braid shielding. It finds these cables help match the impedance of the motor better, lowering peak voltages and reducing insulation stress to increase motor and cable life. Cables with higher impedance resulted in lower peak voltages at the motor terminals.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company discusses solutions to electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems caused by variable-frequency drives (VFDs). Faster switching speeds of modern VFD components produce higher frequency electromagnetic noise. This noise can interfere with control signals and communication devices. Adopting preventative measures like using shielded power cables and separating signal and power wires can minimize EMI issues. Common-mode chokes and EMI filters are also used to reduce conducted and radiated electromagnetic disturbances from VFDs. European Union emission standards provide limits for VFD electromagnetic emissions.Belden Ieee Paper On Vfd Cables

Power Factorscarlhasselbring
油
By installing variable speed AC drives, you can improve process controls, increase energy savings, reduce wear on machinery, and improve power factor (PF). AC drives improve PF by circulating the motor's reactive current internally rather than sending it back to the power supply. This allows the drive's input current to be lower than the output current to the motor. For example, a drive might have an output current of 94.5A but only require an input current of 60A, reducing losses in the power system by 5%. While the primary benefits of drives are improved control and energy savings, higher PF is an added advantage that can save on utility penalties for low PF.3 Sed2 Bypass Options

A variable frequency drive (VFD) controls the speed of HVAC fans and pumps to save energy by adjusting their speed based on demand rather than running them at full speed all the time. VFDs reduce energy usage by eliminating the power surge of starting a motor at full speed and allowing the motor to run at lower speeds when full capacity is not needed. They can potentially save over 30% in energy costs compared to controlling flow with dampers alone. VFDs work by changing the frequency of the alternating current power supplied to an AC motor to vary its speed.0 Sed2 Product Overview

4 Sed2 Harmonics Overview
- 1. Variable Frequency Drives Harmonics Overview
- 2. Harmonics Overview What causes harmonics ? Non-linear load devices create harmonics when they convert ac to dc, dc to dc, dc to ac, and ac to ac. This can produce high levels of harmonic voltage and current distortion.
- 3. Harmonics Overview Harmonics operate at a frequency that is a multiple of the fundamental Harmonics operate at a magnitude that is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the fundamental In other words... the higher the harmonic order, the less effect it has on the waveform. In most cases, harmonic analysis is limited to the 13th harmonic.
- 4. Frequency is defined as the number of times a given waveform repeats itself every second. Example: the typical household line current impresses 115 volts AC, 60 times per second. Harmonics Overview Repeated 60 times every second 166 msec 1 cycle 0
- 5. Harmonic currents operate at the same time as the fundamental, but at faster rates Harmonic currents are additive, producing a distorted sine wave. Harmonics Overview Fundamental = 60Hz 5th Harmonic = 300Hz
- 6. Harmonic Currents are currents that flow at the same time as a fundamental current, 60Hz frequency, but at multiples of the fundamental. For a typical 6 pulse inverter, these multiples are: Fundamental = 60 Hz 5th Harmonic = 60 x 5 = 300 Hz 7th Harmonic = 60 x 7 = 420 Hz 11th Harmonic = 60 x 11 = 660 Hz 13th Harmonic = 60 x 13 = 780 Hz 17th Harmonic = 60 x 17 = 1,020 Hz Harmonics Overview
- 7. A harmonic current operates in harmony with the fundamental but faster; i.e. the 5th harmonic of the 60 Hz fundamental repeats itself 300 (60 x 5) times per second. Harmonics Overview Repeated 300 times every second 30 msec 1 cycle 0
- 8. Harmonics Overview Harmonics have several harmful side effects: Can interfere with electronic equipment and people through radiated (RFI) interference through the air emitted (EMI) interference over power and control wires. Can cause an increase in supplied power (KVA) over what is really needed (kW or HP) Entire AC supply line must be sized accordingly End user transformers, switchgear, wires, contactors, and fuses have to be bigger. The power company generator Can cause Poor Power
- 9. Poor Power. . . Reduces the Load Carrying Capacity of Your Electrical System! Transformers & wiring are sized by current capacity. If additional current is required due to low power factor, capacity for work producing current is displaced. Everything in your building is oversized to make up for poor power factor.

- 10. Harmonics DC Capacitance Link A DC capacitance link provides voltage to the inverter between the peaks of the mains voltage waveform. Current only flows from the mains into the DC link when the mains voltage exceeds that of the capacitor. Current only flows when the mains voltage is near its peak, as shown. The larger the DC link capacitor, the shorter the period of current flow, and the higher the peak current. V Rectifier D C Link Inverter Single or Three Phase Power C + - Current C

Some build in DC link chokes This adds cost, weight and current losses Some offer line reactors Rarely built-in to VFD - often offered as a separate option Commonly mounted in bypass cabinet, or supplied in its own enclosure Adds cost, weight and can cause nuisance tripping of drive on undervoltage Some build special 12 and 18 pulse drives Extremely expense and not practical for most application under 100HP Some just ignore the problem
- 16. Harmonics - The SED2 Advantage SED2 is specifically designed for HVAC applications Fans and pumps with variable torque load characteristics Sophisticated Siemens control technology enables the SED2 to significantly reduce current harmonics by dramatically reducing the size (capacitance) of the DC link. In lieu of large (high uF) electrolytic capacitors used in most VFDs, SED2 uses much lower value (low uF) plastic capacitors. Typical 15Hp VFD: DC link capacitance of 1000uF SED2 15HP VFD: DC link capacitance of 20uF
