However, finding the right solution is challenging.

There are at least ten different technologies to choose from, each with specific technical and economic advantages. This paper will provide recommendations for reducing harmonic distortion, improving system capacity and improving system reliability while evaluating economic considerations.

This document will describe the major differences between UL 1449 2nd Edition and UL 1449 3rd Edition. Compliance to this standard is mandated by September 2009.

The rules being applied by several utilities have been part of the connection contract for many years, however the proliferation of non-linear loads has caused a more stringent policing of end user distortion levels regarding harmonic emissions and compliance with Telephone Influence standards.

Powerco™ is pleased to offer our expertise in this area through distribution system modelling as well as the provision and commissioning of both passive and active harmonic mitigation systems.

With the Powerco™ experience and expertise in harmonic mitigation, we can assure your compliance to IEEE 519 and utility standards for new connection.

Call us today for a review of your Harmonic suppression needs.
