Objectives
 Review of theory and fundamentals of power system harmonics
Discussion of total harmonic distortion and notching
Discussion of common symptoms of harmonics in a power
system such as transformer heating, motor and generator
heating and vibrations, neutral heating and electronic
equipment malfunction
Review of non-linear loads and common sources of harmonics
within electrical distribution systems
Overview of the background and application of
IEEE Std 519-1992
Presentation of several practical examples of performing
harmonic measurements
Presentation of several class examples that will help students
gain a basic understanding of how to perform a
harmonic analysis
Discuss issues and examine study results, potential problem
areas and implementation of study recommendations using
common harmonic mitigating techniques.
Prerequisites Basic computer skills
SKM Power*Tools Standard 3-Day and Advanced 2-Day
Training, OR Hands-On 2- Day Training, OR working
knowledge of SKM PTW Software
Students are urged to review:
• IEEE Brown Book Std 399 - 1997, chapter 6 and 10
• IEEE Red Book Std 141-1993, chapters 8 and 9
• IEEE 519 - 1992, “IEEE Recommended Practices and
Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electrical
Power Systems”
Course Description This course involves the application of the Power*Tools program to analyze a sample AC electrical distribution system containing various types of harmonic sources. Harmonic analysis of the distribution system will be reviewed and then performed using the software. Students will earn 2.0 CEUs for this 2-day course.
