Interharmonic Voltages
Conformance criteria for interharmonic voltages are under consideration by the 
standards development organization.
Mains Signaling Voltages
The mean value of mains signaling voltage at the user-configured frequency is 
measured in each 3 second interval. The following is the conformance 
specification for these measurements:
• Signal voltage is less than or equal to the values shown in Figure 52
 for 99 
percent of each day

(1) No values are given for harmonics of order higher than 25, as they are usually small, but largely unpredictable due to resonance effects.
(2) Depending on the network design, the value for the third harmonic order can be substantially lower.
