The proliferation of end-use electrical and electronic loads in customer facilities — residential, commercial, and industrial — is not slowing down. Despite economic pressures, utility customers are ...

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 ...

For data converters, the frequencies produced by harmonic distortion are somewhat more complicated to calculate. Although the distortion product frequencies for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and ...

Coming to grips with the semantics and vocabulary that apply to “distortion” takes a little discipline, but it isn’t all that intimidating. All you need is a little patience to go over the relevant ...

A detailed analysis of the total harmonic distortion for a nonisolated boost topology with average current-mode control using the UC1854A and the UCC3817. IAC = Current reference. Ideally, IAC is a ...

Arteche PQ, Inc. has introduced a complete range of active harmonic filters. This new filter product line achieves 5% total harmonic current distortion (THD) by monitoring the flow of harmonic ...

Researchers in Malaysia have published a study of total harmonic distortion (THD) reduction techniques in PV systems and claim to have found an holistic and systematic approach. The paper Advances in ...

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 ...
