The Measurement and Analysis of Harmonics and Interharmonics in Output Waveforms of Frequency Inverter. Part I

The paper discusses the measurement and analysis of the voltage and output power distortions of frequency inverter that supplies an induction motor. It covers basic information regarding frequency inverters and norms with definitions and descriptions of terms related to the measurement of harmonics and interharmonics. Moreover, it describes the problems that can occur while analyzing the signal when the inter-harmonics are present during the measurement. Exemplary results of measurements done with power quality analyzer in the laboratory have been presented.
