C.12 HARMONIC COMPONENTS OF CURRENT, VOLTAGE AND TOTAL
DS51723A-page 94
HARMONIC DISTORTION
In Section C.3 “The Harmonic Analysis Algorithm Of Quasi-synchronous Sam-
pling”, we discussed the measuring of current and voltage signals for each order of
harmonics. 3 parameters are used to show to what extent a distorted wave deviates
from a sine wave. They are: harmonic content, total distortion and harmonic ratio of the
k-th harmonic. The term harmonic content means the root of square of effective values
for all harmonics, which is defined as:
EQUATION C-60:
The total voltage distortion ratio of harmonics is the ratio of harmonic content to the
fundamental in percentage, which is defined as:
EQUATION C-61:
The k-th harmonic ratio for voltage is the ratio of the k-th harmonic to the fundamental
in percentage, defined as:
EQUATION C-62:
Similarly, harmonics of each order for the current and total distortion ratio can be sorted
out.
