Harmonic Survey

Variable Speed Drives have become the standard method for motor control today, providing infinitely better process control and of course reducing the motors energy consumption. This has led to installation of VSD loads on all manufacturing processes which in turn increase the harmonic footprint of the site and facilities they are fitted.

Why do I need a Harmonic Survey?

The Engineering Recommendation G5/5 “Harmonic voltage distortion and the connection of harmonic sources and/or resonant plant to transmission systems and distribution networks in the United Kingdom”, came into implementation on 17th June 2020, setting the limits to be valid at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). Harmonic surveys are carried out to check compliance with the standards and utility regulations. Your site could currently be not in compliance with these standards and could face fines. Harmonic issues can also cause:

      • Deterioration and damaging of equipment
      • Equipment failure; fuses blown, breakers tripping etc
      • Underperforming of energy efficiency
