Comparison of harmonic limits and evaluation of the international standards

Abstract

The paper takes the Chinese standard GB/T 14549-1993, the British Engineering Recommendation G5/4-1, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEEE Std 519-2014 and the part of IEC 61000-3 series standard as an example. Then summarize the difference of harmonic limits, the different processing methods of harmonic impedance, and the different summation law of each standard. Compare the harmonic limit calculation and evaluation methods of Chinese GB/T 14549-1993, British G5/4-1 and IEEE Std 519-2014 standard in detail, summarize the characteristics of the three standards in disturbance emission evaluation and introduce examples to verify the conclusion. Finally, summarize the characteristics and differences of mentioned harmonic standards.
