April 2013 Power Quality, Harmonics and Accuracy
Agenda • What is Power Quality • Improving Power Quality • Power Quality in SATEC products • Accuracy Standards
What is Power Quality? • Definitions of the quality of the supplied voltage (what about the current?) • Usually referred in negative contexts – power quality problems • Measurement • IEC 61000-4-7 Voltage Flicker • IEC 61000-4-15 Harmonic Measurement • IEC 61000-4-30 Measurement Accuracy (“Class A”, “Class S”) • IEC 62052/3-11, 22, 23 Energy Accuracy (“Class 0.2S”, “Class 0.5S”) • Power Quality • BS:EN 50160: In use worldwide, in favor of the utilities, voltage only, statistical standard • IEEE 519 and IEEE 1159: American standards, practical point of view • GOST 13019: Russian standard, very comprehensive • G5/4: British standard for Harmonics (also current) • Customized: Allows the user to select the best of all, including fault recording, waveform capture and more

THD-Total Harmonic Distortion IN, VN – Individual Harmonics of order N
TDD - Total Demand Distortion (I) TDD - נותן אפשרות להעריך את הנזקים הנגרמים ע"י הרמוניותבזרמים. כאשרI max. demand - ערך מקסימלי של זרם הנמדד במחזור זמן של 15 דקות או 30 דקות לתקופה כוללת של שנה. פרמטר – THD I% לא נותן אפשרות להעריך את הנזקים הנגרמים ע"י הרמוניות בזרמים כי הוא לא מתייחס לזרמים נומינליים וכאשר הזרם ברשת נמוך הוא נותן הערכה לא נכונה. מסיבה זו בתקן IEEE עבור זרמים מוגדר פרמטר TDD %.

Should we Care about Power Quality? Comprehensive Research in Europe in 1400 sites at 8 countries reports that 20% experience the following: • Computer lockouts (20%) • Light flickering (22%) • Electronic card failures (18%) • Power Factor correction system failures (17%) • Failures in high load switching (16%) • Neutral conductor overheating (12%) • Unexpected breaker operation (11%) • Power meters inaccurate readings (6%) And of course excess losses and downtime

Full Scale (FS) vs. Reading • FS = Full Scale, error in percents from the maximum rating • Example:Meter with 0.5% FS accuracy connected to 1000A transformer, the error is 5A. In 500A load the accuracy is 1% (5/500) • Reading = Error from the measured value • In the above example, the 0.5% error will be also in low load, which means 2.5A only
Accuracy vs. Standard • Various measurement conditions • Load • Harmonics • Power Factor • Frequency • and more… • Various ambient conditions • Temperature • EMC (the device and the accuracy) • Humidity • and more… • Tests by independent lab • Accuracy stability over time(SATEC is approved for 8 years)
Power Factor and Cos • DPF = Displacement Power Factor (Cos φ) • TPF = True Power Factor (incl. harmonics) Conclusion – practically there is no unity Power Factor.
HACS – High Accuracy Current Sensors • SATEC devices has numerous amplitude and phase calibration points
Accuracy is for Engineers,Money is for Decision Makers • 1000 kVA transformer • 80% load • 0.90 Power Factor • 0.15 US$/kWh • The difference between0.6% to 1.58% equals toUS$ 9,272 each year
Accuracy Standard Pyramid Class A 61000-4-30 Class S Class 0.2S 62053-22 Class 0.5S Min. Acceptable Class 0.5 Class 1 IEC 62053-11 Class 2 %Readings %FS (Full Scale) Not included: Class B – meaningless Class 0.1, 0.2 – only for CTs No stated accuracy
