INSTRUMENTATION, MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES, AND ANALYTICAL TOOLS IN POWER QUALITY STUDIES

The proper choice of instrumentation, measurement techniques, and anal ytical tools is vital to the successful implementation of any power qu ality study. Whether the desired result is the determination of harmon ic distortion levels, a harmonic filter design, or transient waveform analysis, the proper choice of instrument, measurement technique, and analytical tools can make the difference between a well-engineered sol ution to a complex problem and an expensive failure, This paper review s the points of consideration for power quality instrumentation, a des cription of appropriate measurement techniques, and a discussion of an alytical methods.
