• Limit harmonic current injections from end users so
that harmonic voltage distortion is tolerable.
• Limit harmonic voltage (responsibility of utility).

•
End users are limited at PCC in terms of
– individual harmonic components and
– total demand distortion
•
•
Utility is mainly responsible for limiting
voltage distortion at PCC
Evaluations:
– Measurement of currents injected by load
(over one week period)
– Calculation of frequency response of system
impedances (using harmonic calculation
software)

• Ih is rms magnitude of individual harmonic
current
• Isc is the short-circuit current at PCC
• IL is the fundamental component of the
maximum demand current (average max
demand over 12 months)
• Individual limits apply to odd-order
harmonics, even order limits are at 25% of
indicated value
8
• For power converters with more than 6
pulses, where q = pulse number, multiply
limits in table 6.2 by q / 6
For example, if q  12, then multiply by 2.

Controlling harmonics
• Control only when harmonics create a
problem. Types of problems:
– load harmonic currents are too large
– path for harmonic currents is too long
electrically (too much impedance) producing
voltage distortion or communication-line
interference
– response of system magnifies one or more
harmonics
10
Options for control
• Reduce magnitude of harmonic currents
from load
• Add filters to do one or more of these:
– short out (siphon off) the harmonic
– block harmonic currents from entering part of
the system
– supply the harmonics locally
• Modify the frequency response of the
system by filters or other means
11
Reducing load harmonic current
• Sometimes transformer connections can
be changed, for example:
– phase shift on some transformers supplying
6-pulse converters
– delta windings block triplen currents
– zig-zag transformers can supply triplens

Zig zag transformer
• Place the transformer to supply balanced
triplen harmonics (and any other zerosequence currents) to load
• This will unload zero sequence currents on
circuits upstream of the ZZ transformer,
with little or no effect downstream
• Fault study results may be affected

Filtering
• Shunt passive filter: short-circuit harmonic
currents close to their source
• Series passive filter: block harmonic
currents from power delivery system (may
cause large load voltage distortion)
• Active shunt filter: electronically supply
low-order harmonics to a nonlinear load
(used with simple passive filters for higher
frequency components).
16
Passive Filters
• Shunt passive filters are
– notch filters, tuned to a specific harmonic
frequency, or
– high-pass filters

17
Modifying system frequency
response
• Add a shunt filter to the system
• Add a reactor (e.g., in series with a pf
correction capacitor) to de-tune system
• Change pf correction capacitor size or
placement, or remove capacitor bank
entirely
18
Where to control harmonics
• On utility system or end-user facility
– utility system is more difficult to filter unless
we can move or change the size of or
reconnect a capacitor
– end-user system may be easier to filter if we
can access the feeder(s) where the harmonic
currents are being produced
19
Filters
• In-line reactors (or chokes) for ASD
• Isolation transformers can help
• Isolation transformers can be reconnected
with different phase shifts

Harmonic studies
• Perform harmonic studies when
– a problem occurs, to find a solution
– planning large capacitor bank installation on
either utility or industrial system
– planning installation of large nonlinear load
such as adjustable speed motor drives (ASD)
– designing a harmonic filter or converting a
capacitor to a harmonic filter
