Abstract

In Industrial Distribution Power System, the use of electronic devices such as motor drives, rectifiers or converters, power supplies and power electronic devices has been increased tremendously from last decade. In such a systems, switching operations are more in their regular work. It causes distortion in supplied waveform (Harmonics). This increases the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of Industrial Distribution Power System which is considered as the main reason for the power quality problems. This paper includes the sources of the harmonics, effects of the harmonics and the recommendations for correction of these problems of power quality resulting from harmonic distortion in the Industrial Distribution Power System.
