Harmonic Analysis

With the Harmonic Analysis module, you can simulate harmonic current and voltage sources, identify harmonic problems, reduce nuisance trips, design and test filters, and report harmonic voltage and current distortion limit violations.

Comprehensive load flow and frequency scan calculations are performed using detailed harmonic source models and power system component frequency models. Results are shown graphically, including harmonic order, harmonic spectrum plots, and harmonic waveform plots, as well as Crystal Reports.
