Major PQ contribution:
Power conversion AC/DC nonlinear loads
54% of power grid issues are from nonlinear loads primarily
VFDs motor drives.
Lighting florescent, battery charging, servers, UPS and dimmers see
growing use.
Induction Arc furnaces, welders and induction heat treating place an
added financial burden on utilities and stress the grid.
Utilities make VA power and typically bill for watts, but thats
changing!

Causes of harmonics: A non-linear load is any load which draws current which is
not proportional to the voltage applied, such as:
Variable Frequency Drives
Controls for arc welders, furnaces, ovens
Any AC to DC rectifiers
Un-interruptible power supplies

The greater the amount of Linear load, the less of an issue the
current distortion becomes. Conversely as the linear load decreases
distortion becomes more of a factor.
Looks at the full capacity of the system
If non-linear loads are a small % of the full system
current demand, the TDD is less

FFT sampling
The metrology performs the direct sampling of the voltage and current
waveforms and the raw processing of these samples to compute all the
energy quantities.
The meter uses a dedicated microprocessor and an analog-to-digital (A/D)
converter. Low level signals proportional to the service voltages and
currents are connected to the analog inputs of the A/D converters. These
converters, which are contained in one package, individually sample the
signals and send the digital results to the microprocessor 1,920 times per
second. The microprocessor takes these samples, applies precision
calibration corrections and computes all the quantities required for the
specific meter configuration.
The analog-to-digital converter samples each phase voltage and current
signal 32 times per line cycle and sends the digital values immediately to
the microprocessor. This amounts to 32 samples per cycle at 60 Hz. Each
time a new set of digital samples are received by the microprocessor, it
calculates all of the selected metrological quantities.

Measured Harmonics
At 32 samples a cycle, harmonics to the 15th are measured. The high rate of the
sampling enables the CENTRON Polyphase meter to measure energy quantities
accurately under high harmonic distortion conditions. The sampling continues
uninterrupted as long as the meter is powered up. All other processing is done in
the background between samples. From the continuous train of digital samples on
each of the six channels, current, voltage, active energy, reactive energy, and
apparent energy quantities are computed.

Matrix AP Advantages
MTEs patented Adaptive Passive Technology adapts
impedance in response to changing loads
Achieves superior harmonic mitigation and better
THID performance over a wider load range
AP changes inductance and is less likely to resonate
with utility systems.
Lower kVAR, generator compatible
AP has much higher inductance and percent
impedance at light loads and offers better drive
transient protection.
High efficiency throughout the load range
Standard three year warranty
