5143B-13: Harmonic Current Cancellation Case Study
ABSTRACT: Harmonic problems for industrial customers are generally caused by nonlinear loads such as adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), switching power supplies, electronic ballasts for fluorescent lighting, and arcing devices such as welders. These devices can cause nearby equipment, such as sensitive computer controls or digital clocks, to malfunction. They can also cause nearby transformers or other equipment to overheat. Finally, it is possible for these devices to cause voltage distortion or e
