Define Harmonic Inputs

Background

Current and voltage inputs must be defined for
harmonic measurements.

Background

For harmonic measurements, one channel is used
to measure voltage using a differential probe and
the other channel is used to measure current using
a current probe.

In the example below, the harmonic content of an
AC power source is tested.

WARNING

Ensure safe working practices are adhered to when
working with live voltages. Failure to do so could
lead to electric shock or loss of life.

Connection

Differential probe: Line and Neutral.
Current probe: Line.

Setup

1. Deskew the current and voltage

probes.
