Abstract :
The main emphasis of this paper is on the power quality based comparison of two identical systems modeled in ETAP, one comprising CFLs as lighting load and the other has fluorescent lights as lighting source. Current waveforms along with its spectrum for the HTs (high tension side) and LTs (low tension side) of distribution transformers, voltage waveforms and their spectrum at different buses have been compared in terms of THDv and THDi at various locations.
