AEMC® - What Are Harmonics? (8435 Discontinued Replaced by 8436)

Harmonics in Electrical Systems
Harmonics affect the quality of AC electricity delivered via the power grid. Left unaddressed, harmonics can increase your energy costs, degrade system performance, and shorten the lifetime of your equipment - and in some cases, even raise personnel safety issues.
This video presents a quick overview of harmonics and how they affect electrical systems. We explain what harmonics are and how they are generated in electrical transmission lines. We also list several ways harmonics can negatively impact your facility. We conclude the video with a brief tour of some of the power quality instruments offered by AEMC for measuring and analyzing harmonics, an essential first step for devising a strategy for harmonics mitigation.
By the end of the video, you should have a good understanding of basic harmonics concepts and why they should be an important concern for any facility management and maintenance program.

the explanation was so good I forgot it was an ad for the company

[@0niKingu5ama]

Truly.

[@livelaughlove6952]

been trying to understand this concept for my mcat thanks for the help!

[@GodfreyMann]

The problem with this explanation of harmonics is that it uses the term ‘harmonics’ within its definition i.e. its a circular explanation. It doesn’t really explain what harmonics are, but rather the *impact* of harmonics within a system, which is to answer a different question than the one in the title: “what are harmonics?”

[@Thatoneperson1977]

Perfect explanation it was very easy to understand. I wish my professors explained it this way. Thank you so much

[@AEMCInstruments]

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful.

when that beep sound came, I checked my UPS 😂😂

[@kapitanbaobao9222]

Great explanation, very clear and straightforward, finnaly grabed the concept of them, I'm so happy 🔥🔥🔥

[@AEMCInstruments]

Glad it helped!

Will there be a third harmonic if the supply has no neutral example from a delta source or line to line source? Thanks

Who is your distributor in the Philippines?

Nice clip. Thank you so much.

Thanks mate helped me a lot

Thank you sir

Thanks for the video. Very informative. 😇

Hi. I am on the search to find the most condiment intervals and put them in order so I can build my own TET piano. However I don’t know the equations to find it out. I tried to find the “beating” when combining two waveforms, but I don’t know if 50 beats is more dissonant than 20 beats for example.

[@tareqal-hababi2954]

Thanks!

[@nfachannel7928]

I have a problem at work
i.e. many machines produce harmonic signals so that it interferes with the voltage in that area, I want to ask how to minimize harmonic signal interference so that the damaged voltage is not too severe. Thank you

[@jitendrajha6863]

Thanks

[@kader7914]

thank you so much

[@douglasposho9299]

Thanks.

[@AEMCInstruments]

You're welcome!

[@123TeeMee]

So what about the total non-harmonic distortion for when frequencies arent the base divided by a whole number, is that a thing that's a problem and is it easily solved? Very nice video though

[@86jekstrom]

(edited) You'll have to provide more information on your specific issue with data to determine a resolution. It appears the intial inquire is redundant/false to be blunt.
Maybe a selector switch is in mind....
Please advise

[@gamingchannel1456]

Apart for the equipment, you should also teach

[@eduardojvivas]

Theres a low rumble on your mic recording, 60hz to be exact.

[@AEMCInstruments]

Nice catch and good ear.
We failed to run the proper noise reduction before publishing.
We hope you enjoyed the video content otherwise.

[@ull893]

@@AEMCInstruments amazing video. Thank you

[@bobcocampo]

Will there be a third harmonics without a neutral?

[@AEMCInstruments]

Please contact us at techsupport @ aemc.com with your questions. Thanks!

[@sanjaykhadse3072]

nice pic dear

[@hordesCoffee]

Have a question? How would someone create Binary Harmonics on Earth's Surface? And is it possible?

[@AEMCInstruments]

Can you explain in more detail what you mean by "Binary Harmonics"?

[@hordesCoffee]

Looking for electrical distortions and anomalies

[@hordesCoffee]

Try to imagine sound waves penitrating land mass. But, unfortunately? To do so, could cause an avalanche or land slide. 🤔 thus Binary Harmonics could be implemented by placing Harmonic beacons around the area that you want 3D image's of?

[@hordesCoffee]

Could this be done, without my Government finding out? It's not illegal, it's just raises eyebrows? And I don't want DARPA nosing around

[@Tsskevik]

I bet its Dr. Mishio Kaku who is the narrator

[@AEMCInstruments]

We wish! That would be an honor!

[@laiha3015]

I totally forgot it's an AD😂

Your sine wave is not a sine wave. It's not that hard to create a sine wave, you can do it in Excel pretty easily.

[@itzurboisandstorm1896]

Ah😂

[@hordesCoffee]

As i suspected
You're DARPA
