The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board approved two new projects to develop standards that will limit the injection of harmonic frequencies into the public electric transmission system. Harmonic pollution is a growing problem caused by the widespread use of power supplies and other non-linear loads. It can result in power loss and equipment damage and it may also be related to environmental safety issues. Both standards will address harmonic injection in 60Hz and 120V/240V systems such as those in use in the United States, Canada and other regions of the world. Both standards will also use the IEC SC77A and IEC 61000-3-12 standards as seed documents.Learn more from IEEE.
