Frequency Analysis PFD Snapshot


PowerSight Frequency Data (PFD) Snapshot
  • This presentation is an example of the graph created by the frequency analysis option (FAO). It shows noise on a 60hz voltage line at an industrial site . As you can see, this noise is well above the 50th harmonic (3,000 Hz) and it will not show up when capturing a waveform. Nevertheless, frequency content in this region can have important impacts on power systems. Since the heating effect of a given current increases with the frequency, very small currents can have large heating effects.
