Harmonic analysis
Function description
1. Perform the 2nd ~ 51st harmonic analysis on the measured signal, and test the total harmonic
distortion rate, the content of odd and even and each harmonic.
Press "3 harmonic" key, and the interface displays as follows:
Press [←→] key to turn pages. Press [F4] to sort.
Press [F1] key to measure A phase voltage and current harmonics.Three-phase energy meter field calibrator

Press [F2] key to measure B phase voltage and current harmonics.
Press [F3] key to measure C phase voltage and current harmonics.
Press [F5] to switch to digital mode.
The instrument can measure 2nd ~ 52nd harmonics, show harmonic spectrums and give out
the percentage content of each harmonic.
Explanation to name:
The content of nth harmonic voltage is expressed as HRUn.
Total harmonic distortion of voltage harmonic (THDu) and total harmonic distortion of current
harmonic (THDi) are defined as, respectively
THDu=(UH/U1)×100%
THDi=(In/I1)×100%
Harmonic order - refers to the multiples of fundamental wave frequency, relative to
fundamental wave. If the frequency of mains supply is 50Hz, the 2nd harmonic is 100Hz AC
component, the 3rd harmonic is 150Hz AC component and so on.
Harmonic influence
Harmonic pollution to power grid is becoming more and more serious, so the harm caused by
harmonics can not be ignored, mainly reflected in:
1. Greatly increasing the chance of resonance in power grid, thus causing the risk of accidentsThree-phase energy meter field calibrator

arisen from very high overcurrent or overvoltage;
2. Increasing additional loss, and reducing the efficiency of power generation, transmission and
power equipment and the equipment utilization;
3. Increasing the losses to electrical equipment (rotary motors, capacitors, transformers, etc.),
accelerating the insulation aging, and thus shortening the service life;
4. Leading to the metering and measuring instruments (such as: energy meter) not to give correct
instructions or measurement;
5. Interfering with the communication system, lowering down the quality of signal transmission,
disturbing the normal transmission signal, and even damaging the communications equipment.
