Abstract

This paper discusses an investigation of transmission system voltage flicker due to the effects of the operation of multiple AC and DC furnaces, harmonic filters, and static VAr systems. The electric utility transmission voltages are measured using a unique flicker measurement and evaluation system. The field tests are compared to an analysis of the expected flicker in the system
