6.1 Harmonic Measurement Feature
The previous chapters described normal voltage, current, and power measurements. This chapter
describes the harmonic measurement feature.
The harmonic measurement feature can compute (1) the voltage, current, and active power for each
harmonicuptothe50thharmonic,(2)theharmonicdistortionfactorofeachharmonic,and(3)the
phase angles of each harmonic relative to the fundamental wave (1st harmonic). It can also compute
the rms voltage, rms current, and rms active power of the fundamental and harmonics as well as the
distortion factor (THD).
