Harmonic Surveys
As more and more electronic equipment is connected to the Power Supply Network the effect of non-linear loads will cause deterioration in quality. The introduced Engineering Recommendation G5/5 lays down the conditions under which connection to the Electricity Supply Network will be allowed and affect every consumer connected to the public electricity supply, including domestic and commercial consumers, as well as industrial users.
