BACKGROUND
CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES IN POWER LOADS…
•The use of power electronics
•Faster changes in loads than in the power grid
…AND IN COMMUNICATION
•The changes from analogue to digital communications technique
•The radiated emission of electronic equipment is limited with respect
to analog radio communications services

CONCLUSION
•It is possible to find HF- harmonics, almost everywhere in power grids.
•The origin to the HF- harmonics is finding in power electronics in domestic,
commercial and industrial equipment.
•The number of emitting devices is growing significantly.
•Literature describes interference on electronic office equipment, in TV and audio
studios and in power grid using power line communication due to HF- harmonics,
to give some examples.
•Literature also describes damage in distribution transformers, cable and cable
termination and in motor bearings due to HF- harmonics.
•While the symmetrical fundamental frequency current is cancelled and the zerosequence harmonics is summarized in the neutral wire the HF- harmonic current
increased when the number of loads symmetrically increased in the three phases,
and there was almost no cancellation.
•Adding the effect of increasing impedance in wires resulting from increasing
frequency, one origin of conductive high-frequency leakage current in the grid is
shown.
