Non-characteristic harmonics and interharmonics of power electronic converters

摘要

Power electronic converters produce not only characteristic harmonics, but also both non-characteristic harmonics and interharmonics. This paper presents physical background of both non-characteristic harmonics and interharmonics. Generation causes are explored and discussed in detail. Extensive series of simulation of different power converter topologies are provided and compared with experimental results and existing standards. This research offers missing background for standards covering low-frequency EMC.
