I. Introduction
Machineries which draw non sinusoidal currents when a
sinusoidal voltage is applied create harmonics. These
harmonics are multiple of the fundamental frequency of an
electrical power system. Machineries used in a plant that draw
non sinusoidal currents are also known as non linear load.
Listed below are some of these devices.
1) Adjustable speed drives
2) DC Drives
3) Variable frequency drives
4) 6 pulse converters
5) Power rectifiers
6) Uninterrupted Power Supplies
7) Computers
If a facility has more than 15% non linear load, then a
harmonic study should be performed before applying the
Power Quality (PQ) solutions. Various methods are used in
order to promote the savings involved with applying PQ
solutions. The most important method followed in Textile
mills is to claim significant benefits associated with the cost of
solution equipment related to payback. Many are so called
tangible or hard savings but many are intangible or related to
payback. Many are so called tangible or hard savings but
many are intangible or soft savings that are associated with or
a side benefit of the solution.
Hard savings include:
x Reduced energy (kWH) usage

The I2R loss at rated load is one per unit (by definition), but it
will change for non sinusoidal load currents. The rms value of
the load current is given by,

where POSL is the stray loss in the components other than the
windings.
Given the eddy current loss under rated conditions for
transformer winding or portion of a winding,( PEC-R),the eddy
current loss due to any defined non sinusoidal load current can
be expressed as
(1)
The load losses are further divided in to two parts that are I2R
losses (PR), the ohmic losses & stray losses. The stray losses
are caused by eddy currents that produce stray electromagnetic
flux in the windings, core, core clamps, magnetic shields, tank
walls & other structural parts. For a transformer feeding
harmonic producing loads, the eddy current loss in the
windings may be the most dominant loss component in the
transformer.
For non sinusoidal load currents, the I2R Power loss (PR) can
be obtained by the sum of the squares of the fundamental and
harmonic currents as shown in below equation.
