4.6.2.3 WAVEFORM SYNTHESIS (cont’d)
(Option: Harmonic Analysis and Synthesis)
The harmonic synthesis feature uses the formula:
WAVEFORM = Σ α
n
sin(nwτ + δ)
to calculate the finished waveform values.
Where: n = harmonic number
α
n
= harmonic amplitude (% of fundamental)
δ = harmonic phase angle
For example, the above formula may use values from the following tables:
WAVEFORM #1 SINE WAVE
n

δ
1 100 0 THD=0%
WAVEFORM #13 - IEC 77A CLASS 1
