How do harmonics affect the load?
The affect of harmonics on loads varies a great deal and is dependent on the load itself. Most loads are not affected by moderate levels of harmonics. Exceptions to this are loads that perform electrical measurements in the frequency domain of the harmonics. Back to Top 13. How do I measure/characterize Power Quality? It requires speciality, measurement equipment to measure, record and diagnosis harmonic problems. Because most equipment does not specify what level of power quality is required. Power Quality Inc. offers a service of characterizing all aspects of Power Quality and determining if it is acceptable to the load.
