Harmonics in Power Systems
What are harmonics? Harmonics are frequency components in an electrical signal that are integral multiples of a fundamental frequency. Harmonic components distort the electrical signal as they are superimposed on the fundamental frequency component. These harmonic currents arise from non-linear loads in the distribution system, including rectifiers, discharge lighting, and magnetically saturated devices. A load […]
Arc Flash Studies: Why and When Are They Necessary
What is an Arc Flash? An arc flash is a sudden and intense release of energy resulting from an unintended arc fault, which occurs when there is a short circuit between live electrical components or between a live part and the ground. This release generates extreme heat and light, causing a powerful explosion that can […]
