Appropriate methods to analyse power conversion harmonics

Nowadays, non-linear loads represent the majority of the residential electrical consumers. The limits on emission and immunity are imposed by IEC- standards, however there is a lack in the domain 2 – 150 kHz. Where power quality standards focus on the current, EMC standards use voltage limits. An appropriate method for measuring high frequency grid disturbances is explored. Measurement techniques described by the existing standards for power quality and EMC are investigated. The aim of this work is to find a robust measurement method for the considered frequency range 2 - 150 kHz. Experimental results are presented in order to validate the analyzed methods.
