Abstract

Power quality and power reliability is critical to industrial operations and equipment. Harmonic distortion occurs from non-linear loads such as variable frequency drives and can negatively impact your equipment reliability, uptime and energy costs. By understanding what is causing harmonics and their effects, you will be able to determine the best solution to maintaining a safe level of harmonics within your facility and protecting your equipment.
