Harmonic Analysis
Harmonic Analysis is used to identify harmonic problems, minimize nuisance trips, design and test filters, and identify potential violations of distortion limits. Detailed harmonic load flow and frequency scan calculations are performed using comprehensive harmonic models and non-integer harmonic filters. Graphical results include spectra and harmonic order plots as well as waveform plots. Harmonic model libraries are available in addition to harmonic-equation based modeling of non-linear loads.
