Introduction: This project will look at harmonics and their effect on plant health and plant rating.

Objectives: The purpose of the harmonic monitoring project was to establish a framework for the management of harmonics which will focus on:

A quantification of the current level of harmonics
A quantified analysis of consequences (losses, life expectancy, accelerated ageing)
The development of a system and strategy to manage the increasing level of harmonics
Maximising the output of the ongoing power quality programme.
