Abstract :
This letter presents a method for characterizing the fast voltage variations that occur on a time scale between the subsecond fluctuations covered by the flickermeter standard and the 10-min values covered by standards like EN 50160 The method is fully compatible with IEC 61000-4-30 class A. The new characteristic is correlated to small switching actions, such as domestic load switching and transformer tap-changer operation.
