Abstract

The harmonic currents drawn by many types of nonlinear loads have been described in the literature. However, there is still a need for a method for predicting the effects of combinations of three-phase and single-phase nonlinear loads. This paper presents a general method for estimating the root-mean-square (RMS) values of electric currents and total harmonic distortion (THD) due to any number of selected types of nonlinear loads on three-phase four-wire and single-phase three-wire distribution systems. Data was gathered from experimentation and was used to validate the proposed method. Results of simulations of various harmonic reduction and compensation techniques are also presented. >
