Abstract

Summary form only given, as follows. This 68000 microprocessor-based instrument samples the waveform and calculates the first 64 harmonics of the 60-Hz fundamental voltage and current waveforms. The 64-Kbyte memory is adequate for one week of hourly samples for a power quality survey by an electrical utility. The analyzer is quickly attached to outputs of potential and current transformers by alligator clips and a current plug. The harmonic data are retrieved from the instrument by a portable computer. A separate PC program is then used for data analysis. Accuracy is about 0.1%, which is more than adequate for power quality surveys.<>
