Neutral Sizing in Harmonic Rich Installations

By Bryony Samuel / Published on Wed, 2008-12-03 14:12

This Application Note discusses the sizing of neutral conductors in the presence of ‘triple-N’ harmonics– that is, currents with a harmonic order that is a multiple of three. This issue is particularly important in low voltage systems where harmonic pollution by single phase loads is an increasingly serious problem. Triple-N harmonic currents add arithmetically with the result that neutral currents that are often significantly higher than the phase currents.

Sizing the neutral in harmonic-rich environments

By Hans De Keulenaer / Published on Sun, 2006-02-19 16:45

Date: March 31, 14h00 GMT+1
Duration: 1 hour
Speaker: Angelo Baggini, TU Bergamo

This one-hour webinar will provide guidance for neutral sizing based on the latest standards on the subject. The literature mentions half-sized, full-sized and double-sized neutrals compared to phase conductors. In this webinar, a method for neutral sizing will be proposed that can be used in most practical situations.
