Effect of Interharmonics on Flicker of Fluorescent Lamps

In order to analyze the inter-harmonic affections on the voltage flicker, the relationship between the inter-harmonics and flicker analysis are carried out. In order to be able to accurately determine the level of inter-harmonics to make the electric light flicker, inter-harmonic-flicker limit curve drawing method based on the voltage flicker constraints is established. Analog tester flicker and inter-harmonic-flicker experimental platform are built; limit curve can be drawn through the experimental data. The 2 kinds of harmonic-flicker limit curves for the 220 V, 50 Hz fluorescent lamp are drawn by the 2 methods separately, and the analysis results show that the accuracy of the results obtained by the two methods, the level of inter-harmonics whether lead to fluorescent flicker can be determined by the curves. The methods have the small amount of calculation, and are practical and easy to implement.
