Measuring Current Harmonics
Check whether the lighting system causes excessive harmonics. These may
influence the system.

Select AMPS.

Make connections as shown below. Turn all lights on.
Look at the harmonics spectrum and read the THD value. If the current
THD is less than 20%, the harmonic distortion is probably acceptable.
Consider replacing lights with a better quality (which produces less
harmonics) or install a harmonic filter to avoid the injection of harmonics
into the system.
