• Flicker problems in a steel plant caused by Interharmonics (414)

A new case study by Michèle De Witte, Laborelec.

A steel manufacturing plant was experiencing a flicker problem. Lights in the office areas of the plant were often flickering, affecting productivity and creating an irritating nuisance for employees.

A Power Quality consultant was called in to investigate the case. He carried out measurements to gain a better understanding of the problem and to enable him to identify the source of the flicker phenomenon and the operating conditions in which it occurred. Once this information in hand, he was able to propose an appropriate solution.
