uninterruptible power supplies.
The current and voltage harmonics generated by the use of non-linear devices can also be
introduced into the utility system service point providing power. Harmonic distortion
damage can be mitigated on the customer electrical distribution system feeding non-linear
electrically controlled equipment by the use of harmonic filters, line reactors, etc. IEEE
519, IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in
Electrical Power Systems was developed to assist in the prevention of the introduction of
customer generated ...
