The power quality of electrical distribution systems has a drastic effect on power regulation and consumption. Power quality includes all aspects of events in the power system that deviate from normal ...

This article is Part 6 of a seven-part series on the effects of power quality disturbances on a five-stage electronic LED driver. Part 1 (April 2018) dealt with long-duration voltage variations. Part ...

Despite the name, electrical harmonics are terrible for data center harmony. In a perfect world, the power supply feeding a data center would produce a smooth, sinusoidal waveform at one constant ...

Agilent Technologies has introduced a range of 30MHz waveform generators which are designed for very low jitter and low harmonic distortion. The total harmonic distortion is less than 0.04% and ...

Associated with alternating current (AC) power lines, harmonics can infiltrate both the voltage and current of electricity. This results in costly and disruptive damage to the electrical distribution ...

AC motors are abundant in the HVAC industry. Every fan and pump application requires an AC motor. For efficient and reliable control, adjustable-speed drives are becoming a common companion for these ...

We all know what distortion sounds like. We’ve heard it in heavy metal tunes, cheap iPod docks and the crummy speakers at Taco Bell drive-thrus. And we’ve all read distortion specs on things like ...

With the increasing popularity of alternate power sources, such as solar and wind, the need for static inverters to convert dc energy stored in batteries to conventional ac form has increased ...
