Abstract

IEC Standards for controlling harmonic distortion levels on the power system fall into two categories. IEC 61000-3-2 and 61000-3-12 outline limits for harmonic emissions from individual equipment. These standards apply for equipment up to 75 amps (on 230 volt systems). IEC 61000-3-6 outlines procedures for evaluating harmonic emissions from facilities that are connected to MV, HV, and EHV systems. This standard is currently undergoing revision. This summary paper and the associated presentation describe important aspects of the 61000-3-6 standard for comparison with IEEE harmonic standards
