Teledyne LeCroy today introduces a new Harmonics Calculation option for the Motor Drive Analyzer (MDA800) series. This optional software package enhances the standard capabilities of the Motor Drive ...

Typically, harmonic distortion in the power supply isn’t addressed until it starts being suspected as a cause of equipment failure or downtime. Don’t be typical. Suppose you have two 480V motor ...

It’s been a while since the last installment in our Know Audio series, in which we investigated distortion as it applies to ...

Total harmonic distortion (THD), is a popular measure of nonlinearity of a device. Learn about the considerable flexibility in defining THD while providing a relatively simple way to orchestrate all ...

Because of the performance of compressors and other inductive loads, it becomes more important to monitor the distortion on a power line. With alternative power sources, such as wind or solar, a ...

A critical measure for all audio components is distortion, typically specified as total harmonic distortion (THD) or total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N). THD is defined as: ... THD+N is the rms ...

If you're installing a variable-frequency drive (VFD) or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) — or if you already have this equipment in place — you should be monitoring certain power quality parameters ...

Power analyzers are used in various industries, including renewable energy and semiconductor production, to provide engineers with the information they need to enhance performance and troubleshoot ...

The above measurements illustrate how much Total Harmonic Distortion and Noise is present in the cards output signal. Harmonic distortion presents itself as multiple odd and/or even harmonic overtones ...
