ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method to identify a harmonic producing load on a utility electrical network is described. The apparatus is connected to the utility electrical network at a location adjacent to a load. The apparatus includes a network voltage node to receive a voltage signal, and a network current node to receive a current signal. The apparatus also includes harmonic filters to process the voltage signal and current signal to isolate selected harmonic voltage signals and selected harmonic current signals. A signal processor derives a set of selected power signals from the selected harmonic voltage signals and the selected harmonic current signals. The signal processor also identifies any positive polarity signals in the set of selected power signals. In response to a positive polarity signal, the signal processor activates a sensory output device to indicate that harmonics are being produced by the load.
