10.2.5.1 Distortion measurement
The Distortion measurement module measures harmonics up to the 11
th
harmonic.
The filter used for harmonics includes a spectrum of frequencies near each
harmonic frequency. FFT for one period is used. The resulting frequency spectrum is
wider than in a harmonic subgroup. An anti-aliasing filter is used.
10.2.5.2 Total harmonic distortion
The total harmonic distortion THD is calculated from the measured harmonic
components with the formula

THD shorter mean value outputs are SMNTHD_A, SMNTHD_B and SMNTHD_C. These
and also the 10-minute mean values LMNTHD_A, LMNTHD_B and LMNTHD_C are
seen in the monitored data. These values are always shown as percentage of
the fundamental frequency's phase-to-earth voltage 3-second mean value. The 10-
minute mean values also follow 10 min ticks. See also
Figure 965
and the description
for sliding values.
