A good example is the change from an asynchronous motor to a frequency converter with a controlled drive. The asynchronous motor had two states: on and off. The frequency converter, on the other hand, can be set to the exact power required. This modern technology brings a mains feedback to our grid - they no longer need the voltage and current to be sinusoidal, but instead, build up the power and current as they would like it via a rectifier in the input.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u00A0\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cfigure role=\u0022group\u0022 class=\u0022caption caption-img align-center\u0022\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\u0022https://www.magnet.co.za/contactus.html\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\u0022Figure 1:Changes of the electronic components\u0022 data-entity-type=\u0022file\u0022 data-entity-uuid=\u0022b07b8809-8527-4b0b-8fb8-cc1345d74e3e\u0022 height=\u0022314\u0022 src=\u0022/cms/drupal8-magnetgroup/sites/default/files/inline-images/11.png\u0022 width=\u0022748\u0022 /\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003Cfigcaption\u003EFigure 1: Changes of the electronic components\u003C/figcaption\u003E\n\u003C/figure\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u00A0\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow is a rectifier constructed?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EA typical input circuit of a drive can be seen in Figure 2. At the top, the mains side is shown, it is fed in three-phase and it goes via a bridge rectifier to an intermediate circuit, where this wavy DC is first smoothed out a little. Then we go to an inverter, where the DC is chopped up into small blocks and from this, we can assemble any frequency with which the motor can be regulated or controlled. This is very efficient, but on the grid side we get the switching frequencies of the inverter. Figure 1 shows a few examples of consumers that are used in today\u2019s grids. From the figure, it can be deduced that feedback effects of 2 kHz to 300 kHz must be expected, which can be a disturbance for other loads.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf a consumer operates with a certain switching frequency, the source feeds this frequency into the grid. Now this frequency naturally seeks out some consumer and wants to short-circuit itself. At 10 kHz or 20 kHz, we can assume that it does not want to flow towards the transformer or medium voltage, because the transformer blocks high frequencies via its XL. However, when we feed in, we look for a source with a low impedance through which this frequency can flow away, and this is usually always a consumer in the vicinity.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https://www.magnet.co.za/news-letter.html\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\u0022Figure 2:Sctrure of the Inverter \u0022 data-entity-type=\u0022file\u0022 data-entity-uuid=\u0022116c6e29-f8ca-4854-84c8-658458dc234b\u0022 height=\u0022215\u0022 src=\u0022/cms/drupal8-magnetgroup/sites/default/files/inline-images/12.png\u0022 width=\u002276\u0022 class=\u0022align-center\u0022 /\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u00A0 \u00A0 \u00A0 \u00A0 Figure 2 :Structure of the Inverter\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u00A0\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat problems might occur in the grid if these switching frequencies occur?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMany consumers nowadays no longer have a switch. In the past, for example, a lamp could be switched on and off via a switch, but nowadays it is also possible to use a touch dimmer lamp. By touching the base, the light is switched on and off.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThere is a practical example of how these lamps influence the power quality:\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EA hotel has equipped all rooms with touch dimmer lamps. These lamps switched themselves on and off, which is particularly unfavourable. The cause of all this: In the town where this hotel was located, an industrial company with CNC machines, which also worked during the night on weekdays, caused repercussions in the network. This ultimately caused the lamps to switch themselves on and off. In the lamp, the switching on and off mechanism is controlled by very small signals of a higher frequency. If the identical frequency is generated by another consumer or machine in the grid, a reaction or malfunction might occur.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn addition, it can be said that all feedback effects that occur in the range up to approx. 16 kHz can be perceived acoustically by humans, since consumers can convert these feedback effects into sounds.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow can disturbances be measured?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf you want to record the disturbances in the network, the whole thing is subject to the condition that the measuring device must be able to scan twice as fast as the disturbance that is to be recorded. For example, a disturbance in the range up to 10 kHz can only be detected by a measuring device that measures with at least 20 kHz. A brief overview of the sampling rates at which our mobile PQ measuring devices can measure and detect repercussions are displayed in Figure 3.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cfigure role=\u0022group\u0022 class=\u0022caption caption-img align-center\u0022\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\u0022https://www.magnet.co.za/contactus.html\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\u0022Figure 3\u0022 data-entity-type=\u0022file\u0022 data-entity-uuid=\u0022cdc3883a-e3f6-4a25-a1f7-226c6e548494\u0022 height=\u0022358\u0022 src=\u0022/cms/drupal8-magnetgroup/sites/default/files/inline-images/14.png\u0022 width=\u0022800\u0022 /\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003Cfigcaption\u003EFigure 3:Range\u00A0of interference detection of our PQ-Boxes and the corresponding guidelines\u003C/figcaption\u003E\n\u003C/figure\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u00A0\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAn example from practice\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn one village, some customers complained to the energy supplier that some consumers were showing malfunctions or that devices were emitting whistling sounds.

both create distortion on the sinewave. They are both a cause of deviation of the sinewave from its actual form. However, the basic difference between harmonics and transients is that harmonics tend to stay more in a system. Transients are hugely repetitive and are nanosecond occurrences.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWhereas transients are created by inductive load switching, harmonics are created specifically by non-linear loads.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow do you know if you have a Harmonics issue? \u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIt\u2019s easy to assume you have a harmonics issue.
