ABSTRACT:
An outgoing harmonic level evaluator which evaluates the amount of outgoing harmonics by computing correction to the amount of harmonics measured at a receiving point without the need for summing the measurement values of generated harmonics in load bus lines. The evaluator comprises a potential current transformer and a potential transformer arranged at the receiving point from the power supply bus line, respectively for measuring a load current and a load voltage, a harmonic order analyzing unit for determining a harmonic current and a harmonic voltage on an order by order basis based on a current signal and a voltage signal, respectively from the potential current transformer and the potential transformer, an incoming harmonic level correction computing unit for determining the corrected component of the incoming harmonic current based on the harmonic voltage and an impedance of a phase advancing capacitor block as a load, and a generated harmonic level evaluating unit for determining a true harmonic level generated from the group of loads through the vector subtraction process of the harmonic currents from the harmonic order analyzing unit and the incoming corrected component of the harmonic current from the incoming harmonic level correction computing unit.
