 Most electrical engineers today appreciate the need to control harmonics on their
power distribution networks. If left uncontrolled, harmonics have been known to cause
overheating of electrical equipment and create equipment operational problems due to
high voltage distortion conditions. But as we get inundated with technical information
and opinions on the topic, it becomes increasingly more difficult to determine how best
to manage these harmonics.

Electrical Standards associations such as IEEE and IEC have introduced standards
and recommendations that address harmonics but these are not always easy to
interpret or apply. This paper has been prepared to assist with the application of the
standard that has been widely adopted - particularly in N. America but also quite
commonly referenced in many other areas of the world. This is IEEE Std 519-2014,
‘Recommended Practice and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electrical Power
Systems’.

IEEE Std 519-2014 Harmonic Limits

The latest revision of IEEE Std 519 was released in March of 2014. This replaced the
previous version that had been around since 1992. IEEE Std 519 was established to
prevent harmonics generated by non-linear loads from negatively affecting the power
system and connected loads.

IEEE Std 519 provides recommendations and guidelines for limiting harmonic voltage
and current distortion at a point of common coupling (PCC) between the electrical
system owner or operator and a user. The standard recognizes the responsibility of an
electricity user to not degrade the voltage quality of the utility by drawing heavy non-
linear or distorted currents. It also recognizes the responsibility of the utility to provide
users with a near sine wave voltage.

Recommended harmonic limits are found in Section 5 of the standard and are shown in
Tables 1 and 2.

Some important differences between revision 2014 and the previous 1992 version
include:

1. THD and TDD definitions now allow the inclusion of harmonics above the 50th
when necessary.
2. Voltage distortion limits for < 1kV systems have been relaxed to 8% from 5%.
3. Lower voltage distortion limits for Special Applications and higher limits for
dedicated systems have been removed.
4. Current distortion limits for > 161kV systems have been changed. Current limits
for other voltage systems remain the same.
5. Very Short Time and Short Time limits have been introduced.
6. An allowance for increased harmonic limits at higher frequencies can be applied
when steps are taken to reduce lower frequency harmonics.

It can be argued that at least some of these changes have not been for the better. For
example, some sensitive equipment might not be tolerant of VTHD levels as high as 8%
so relaxing the limit and removing requirements for Special Applications exposes them
to potential issues. Also, relaxing the higher frequency limits when steps are taken to
reduce lower frequency harmonics (such as phase shifting strategies), seems to defy
logic. High frequency harmonics can cause problems at much lower levels so tighter
limits are certainly justified regardless of the levels of low frequency harmonics.
The fact that harmonics above the 50th can now be included in THD and TDD
calculations is a positive addition but since the wording leaves much to interpretation, it
is rarely applied. As we become more aware of Supraharmonic related issues (defined
here as frequencies between 2 kHz and 150 kHz), applying limits above the 50th will
see more importance.

 IEEE Std 519-2014 Definitions

So let’s begin with some definitions found in the standard.

Point of Common Coupling (PCC): Point on a public power supply system,

electrically nearest to a particular load, at which other loads are, or could be,
connected. The PCC is a point located upstream of the considered installation.

PCC is used to define a location where the harmonic limits are to be applied.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): The ratio of the root mean square of the
harmonic current, considering harmonic components up to the 50th order
and specifically excluding interharmonics, expressed as a percentage of the
fundamental. Harmonic components of order greater than 50 may be included
when necessary.

In this definition, THD is referring to current harmonic distortion. As the THD acronym
is also applied to voltage harmonic distortion it is important to distinguish to which it is
referring. In this paper, we will refer to current distortion as iTHD and voltage distortion
as vTHD.

iTHD and vTHD can be calculated by the equations below. Fortunately, all power
quality instruments do these calculations so there is no need to do the math. The
important thing to note is that all individual harmonics contribute to the total harmonic
distortion.

iTHD = I 2 +I 3 +I 4 +I 5 +.... x 100%
I 1

2 2 2 2
vTHD = V 2 +V 3 +V 4 +V 5 +.... x 100%
V1

Total Demand Distortion (TDD): The ratio of the root mean square of the
harmonic current, considering harmonic components up to the 50th order
and specifically excluding interharmonics, expressed as a percentage of the
maximum demand current. Harmonic components of order greater than 50 may
be included when necessary.

 TDD can be represented mathematically as:

2 2 2 2
TDD = I 2 +I 3 +I 4 +I 5 +.... x 100%
I L

With IL defined in the standard as:

Maximum Demand Current (IL): The current value at the PCC taken as the
sum of the currents corresponding to the maximum demand during each of the
12 previous months divided by 12.

This definition, which is incredibly difficult to apply, must have been proposed by
Utility engineers who define peak demand load in this manner. It might be fine for
that purpose but, how is it possible to determine this value at the design stage when
engineers are trying to determine how best to deal with the harmonics generated by
non-linear loads? And even after installation, records for an entire year would need
to be kept in order to determine a value, making application impractical. Therefore,
another option for determining peak demand current will be proposed in this paper.
Also, since TDD only applies to current harmonics, this paper will refer to it as iTDD
going forward.

Another definition worth noting is Short Circuit Ratio (SCR).

Short Circuit Ratio (ISC/IL): At a particular location, the ratio of the available
short-circuit current, in amperes, to the load current, in amperes.

SCR provides a reference to source impedance relative to the load. During a short
circuit, the fault current that flows is limited by the source impedance through Ohm’s
Law (Isc = V / Zs). The higher the source impedance, the lower the short circuit current
for the same voltage and vice versa.

Ohm’s law also determines the contribution of individual harmonic currents to the
total harmonic voltage distortion of the power system (Vh = Ih x Zh). The higher the
source impedance, the higher the voltage distortion resulting from the flow of current
harmonics through the distribution system and vice versa.

As seen in Table 2, the standard uses SCR to set current distortion limits where
the higher the SCR, the more relaxed the current distortion limits. This is logical
because, for the same amount of current harmonics, voltage distortion produced
will vary depending upon the source impedance. Although current distortion can
cause overheating issues, it is more important to control their contribution to voltage
distortion, which can cause even more severe and diverse issues.

 Why iTDD Makes Sense for Harmonic Current Limits

Once the difference between iTDD and iTHD is fully understood, the rational for the
use of iTDD becomes quite evident. iTHD provides a relative measure of the harmonic
current content at the measured load level. This certainly provides valuable information
but can be a bit misleading with respect to the severity of the harmonics problem when
the measurements are made during light loading.

iTHD will almost certainly be higher at lighter loading than at heavier loading, but the
actual harmonic currents measured in amps will be lower. And it is the ampere value
of harmonic current that contributes to problems such as overheating of electrical
distribution equipment and distortion of the applied voltage due to harmonic voltage
drops across the power system impedance.

To understand this better, we can study an example. Table 1 shows harmonic

measurements taken on a 350 HP Variable Speed Drive (VSD) with and without a
passive harmonic filter. When operating at full load without a filter, the 5th harmonic
current was 110 A and iTHD was 36%. At 25% load, 5th harmonic current dropped to
55 A but iTHD increased to 77%. So, although iTHD more than doubled, the actual
amount of 5th harmonic current circulating through the power system dropped by half.
This would result in less harmonic losses and their subsequent heating and 50% less
voltage distortion on the electrical bus.

The same relationship occurred when the filter was added but now iTHD increased
from 4.2% to 8.7% while the 5th harmonic current dropped from 5 A to 2.4 A. Both are
significant improvements from the non-filtered case.

This demonstrates how iTHD can be a misleading measurement under lightly loaded
conditions. A high iTHD value might seem to require treatment measures when, in fact,
the low level of harmonic current in amperes would not introduce any problems. This
is the justification for introducing iTDD. It would be a mistake to use iTHD at any load
level as the determining factor for whether harmonic mitigation is required or not.

How Can iTDD be Calculated?

In IEEE Std 519, iTDD takes the iTHD value and references it to peak demand
current. In the definitions provided previously, this is calculated by a root sum squared
method with IL as the referenced peak demand fundamental current. This can also be
represented as follows, where I(meas) is the actual measured load current and IL is as
defined in the standard.

iTDD = iTHD x I (meas)

IL
This would be quite easy to calculate if it wasn’t for the standard’s impractical definition
for peak demand current. So a better means of determining peak demand current is
necessary and will be addressed later.

How Can IEEE Std 519 be Best Applied?

IEEE Std 519 was intended to be used as a system standard. The voltage and current
harmonic limits presented in the standard were designed to be applied while taking the
entire system into consideration, including all linear and non-linear loading. But this
has proven to be quite difficult to implement in many applications because:

© STULZ / @ Mirus – All rights reserved 7

 1. It requires an extensive computer simulation which few design engineers,
equipment suppliers or contractors are capable of performing, especially when
1-Lines are complex or when other equipment is unknown.

2. For an accurate analysis, a detailed 1-Line is required including load types,

cable sizes and cable run lengths.

3. A PCC location must be agreed upon between the utility, design engineer and
end user.

4. Load profiles and worse case operating conditions need to be determined.

5. Peak demand load, IL, by definition, is impossible to determine without

operating for, at least, 1 year. This is required to calculate SCR in order to
determine the applicable harmonic current limits and iTDD in order to determine
if these limits are being met.

As a result, many consulting and facility engineers have found it difficult to apply
IEEE Std 519 as a system standard because detailed information on the system and
its loading is often not available at the design stage. And even when the information
is available, the resources required to do a proper power system analysis does not
always exist. Further complicating matters is that the standard applies to the peak
demand current which, again, is impossible to determine at the design stage.

Another less obvious problem is that harmonic voltage distortion is always higher near
the loads, where the harmonic currents are generated, than it is at the service entrance
where the PCC is usually defined. Therefore, even if the harmonic limits are met at the
PCC, they can still be at problem levels downstream near any sensitive loads.

So, when engineers do try to apply IEEE Std 519 as a system standard, they will
normally transfer the responsibility of determining compliance to the contractor or
equipment supplier. But all of the difficulties remain so this usually leads to extreme
frustration for all parties, wasted time and associated costs, and unsatisfactory results.

Many engineers therefore, have determined that the simplest way of ensuring that
harmonic distortion levels are effectively controlled, is to apply the standard’s limits on
an individual equipment basis. By insisting that the current harmonic limits be applied
at the terminals of the non-linear equipment, compliance on a system basis can be
assured. This approach can be very effective, but if not applied in a practical manner,
can also lead to costly and possibly unreliable harmonic mitigation equipment being
used which many manufacturers are reluctant to integrate into their product offerings.

8 © STULZ / @ Mirus – All rights reserved

 When properly defined however, this method is often the best compromise for ensuring
IEEE Std 519 compliance to the benefit of all stakeholders – the End User, Contractor,
Utility, Equipment Manufacturer and Design Engineer. So how can that be achieved?

Applying IEEE Std 519 at the Equipment Terminals

The most common mistake made in applying harmonic limits at the equipment
terminals is the use of iTHD instead of iTDD. As mentioned earlier, iTHD levels can
be quite high at lightly loaded conditions when the current harmonic in amps is quite
low and therefore, unproblematic. IEEE Std 519 recognizes this and therefore, defines
the limits with respect to iTDD so it is extremely important that this approach be
adopted. Using iTHD will almost certainly force the manufacturer to attempt the use
of mitigation equipment that is overdesigned. This can lead to power system issues,
especially when supplied by a ‘weak’ generator source, or equipment operating issues
associated with unacceptable voltage drops at higher loading levels or the introduction
of higher order harmonics when active harmonic mitigation solutions are used.

Also, in order to overcome the challenges of determining peak demand current

at the design stage, it can be beneficial to accept the premise that maximum load
current should be defined as the maximum operating current of the non-linear load at
design conditions. Often this is full load or rated current but may also be calculated
independent of component or motor rating. In this way, SCR can be more easily
calculated and the applicable current limits can then be taken from Table 2 of the
standard.

Using maximum operating current as peak demand current also allows current total
demand distortion, iTDD, to be determined by running simulations at maximum
operating load. When iTHD measurements are taken, iTDD can be easily calculated
by multiplying these values by the ratio of measured current to maximum operating
current. For example, if iTHD is measured as 44% at 50% loading, then iTDD at that
load would be half of that value or 22% (see Table 3).

To simplify things further, many engineers will select a value of iTDD that they
determine to best protect their client’s interests. In mission critical applications,
they will often choose the most stringent current limit in the standard which is <
5% regardless of what the SCR level dictates. This will ensure that harmonics are
effectively controlled but, it should be noted, it may lead to unnecessarily higher
equipment costs. If this limit is selected, it is important to repeat that iTDD should be
used rather than iTHD. Or if iTHD is used, it should only be applied at the maximum
operating load current. If it is applied across the entire load operating range, it will
almost certainly lead to over compensation, much higher costs and a possible negative
effect on equipment reliability.

 What Equipment can be Used to Meet Harmonic Compliance in Adjustable Speed
Drive Applications?

Of course, there are many options for harmonic mitigation to meet IEEE Std 519
compliance but one of the most effective passive harmonic solutions for 3-phase
rectifiers is the Lineator AUHF wide spectrum harmonic filter (WSHF). This approach
is series connected and incorporates a combination of a blocking element and a tuned
filtering element as shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1: Lineator AUHF schematic and connection diagram

Important in the design of an effective filter is the prevention of harmonic importation

from the line side of the filter. Without this ability, a filter could easily be overloaded
when installed on a power system where other harmonic generating, non-linear loads
exist on the same bus. The Lineator AUHF achieves this by tuning the filter, as seen
from the input terminals, to near the 4th harmonic, comfortably below the predominant
harmonics of 3-phase rectifiers.

When applied to a conventional Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD), the ASD’s relatively
high level of DC bus capacitance allows for stable operation and very effective
harmonic mitigation. Standard designs will reduce current distortion at full load to < 8%
and premium models can reach levels of < 5%.

Another important design criteria for these filters is the level of capacitive reactance
that the filter capacitors will introduce under light loading. A design that limits capacitive
reactance at < 15% of the rated kW of the filter, will ensure stable and effective

 operation on either a high impedance generator supply or low impedance large utility
transformer source.

Recommended Specification

Each Adjustable Speed Drive of 30 HP and larger shall be supplied with a passive
harmonic filter to meet all requirements outlined in IEEE Std 519 (both 1992 and 2014
editions) for individual and total harmonic voltage and current distortion. The Point
of Common Coupling (PCC) for all voltage and current harmonic calculations and
measurements shall be the input terminals to the harmonic mitigation equipment.

• Harmonic mitigation shall be by passive inductor/capacitor network. To prevent

possibility of switching frequency resonance, active electronic components
shall not be used.
• Performance Guarantee: iTDD must be <8% with background voltage
distortion up to 5% and voltage imbalance up to 3%. [Or for more critical
applications, iTDD must be <5% with background voltage distortion up to
2% and voltage imbalance up to 2%]. The filter must be capable of operating in
voltage distortion environments up to 8% without derating.
• Power factor shall be > 0.95 in operating range from 25% to full load.
• To ensure compatibility with engine generators, the harmonic mitigation
equipment must never introduce a capacitive reactive power (kVAR) which is
greater than 15% of its kW rating for sizes ≥ 100HP and 20% for sizes ≤ 75HP.
If the filter does not meet this requirement, it must integrate a capacitor
switching contactor.
• Factory Performance Testing: Manufacturer must be capable of factory testing
for harmonic mitigating performance and energy efficiency under actual
adjustable speed drive loads.

Summary and Conclusion

IEEE Std 519 has become the accepted standard for Power System Harmonic Limits
in N. America and many other areas around the world. Applying this as a power system
standard however, has proven to be difficult for many reasons. The most challenging
of which are (i) determining the peak demand current at the design stage since
the standard’s definition for this requires load measurements for at least 1 year, (ii)
accumulating the distribution and load information required to do a proper computer
simulation and (iii) having a computer simulation program with accurate models of
loads and distribution equipment, especially when complex 1-Lines are involved.

To address this, many engineers have adopted the approach of applying the standard’s
harmonic limits at the non-linear equipment terminals. When this is combined with an
understanding that a load’s maximum operating current can be a good measure of
the peak demand load and targeted limits are based on iTDD rather than iTHD, this

 approach can assure that the interests of all parties has been suitably addressed.

The use of wide spectrum passive harmonic filters can be a very effective way of
meeting the harmonic limits of IEEE Std 519 when Adjustable Speed Drives are used.
iTDD levels of < 8% and < 5% can be easily and reliably met using these devices.

For a sample analysis of how this approach can be used to ensure harmonic compliance, refer
to ‘Analysis for IEEE Std 519 Compliance of a Hospital HVAC System’. This analysis uses Mirus’
SOLV Computer Simulation software to demonstrate how specifying an iTDD value of < 8% at
the input terminals of all ASD’s 30 HP or larger, met the requirements of IEEE Std 519 under
both Utility and Generator supply.

 Appendix: Analysis for IEEE Std 519 Compliance of a Hospital HVAC System

To demonstrate compliance with the harmonic requirements of IEEE Std 519, a

computer simulation can be performed. Mirus’ free SOLV Computer Simulation
software is well suited for this task and is used here to analyze the HVAC system in a
modern Boston area hospital. The hospital is equipped with full generator backup so
the analysis is done under both normal Utility operation and in emergency mode when
supplied by the generators.

The analysis is done to demonstrate that compliance with the standard can be met by
specifying a minimum requirement for harmonic performance at the input terminals of
the adjustable speed drive (ASD) loads. In the simulations with harmonic mitigation,
Lineator AUHF passive wide spectrum harmonic filters were used on all ASDs of 30 HP
and larger.

The electrical distribution equipment and HVAC load data is as follows.

Utility Supply:
• 2 x 2500 kVA, 13.8kV to 480V, Z = 5.75% transformers sharing load on 2 buses
• Utility Fault Level – 13.1kA @ 13.8kV

Generator Supply:
• 2 x 2000 kW, 480V, Xd” = 13%, PF = 0.8 generators sharing load on 2 buses

Non-linear load HVAC equipment:

• 4 x 400 HP Chillers with maximum operating load of 75% when redundancy is
taken into consideration
• 700 HP total AHU load with EC fans
• 4 x 15 HP Cooling Tower fans
• Chilled water and other pumps
o Total of 250 HP in sizes 30HP and larger
o Total of 150 HP in sizes 25 HP and smaller
• Total of 150 HP of miscellaneous fans 20 HP and smaller.
75% operating diversity assumed.

Linear load:
• Multiple fixed speed motors totaling 146 HP (109 kW) with 0.9 PF assumed.

After entering this data into the SOLV software, analysis is first performed with only AC
line reactors or DC chokes supplied with the ASDs. Figures 1 through 4 show computer
simulation results for both the Utility Source and Generator Source configurations.

 When supplied by the Utility Source, the computer simulation shows that the system
exceeds IEEE Std 519 current distortion limits at both the Utility Supply (PCC 2) and the
User Transformer (PCC 1) when only reactors are supplied with the HVAC system ASDs.
Voltage distortion limits are met at PCC 2 and exceed the limits of the 1992 version (ie. <
5%) at PCC 1 but not the 2014 version (ie. < 8%).

But when supplied by the higher impedance or ‘weaker’ Generator Source, harmonic
voltage distortion levels are much higher and both the current distortion limits and voltage
distortion limits are exceeded at the Generator terminals (shown as PCC 1 and PCC 2).

So in order to comply with IEEE Std 519 in both operating scenarios, additional harmonic
mitigation equipment is required. One option is to apply Lineator AUHF filters to the larger of
the non-linear loads. The standard Lineator AUHF guarantees < 8% iTDD at the terminals of
the filter even with background voltage distortion as high as 5% and with voltage imbalance
up to 3%. Therefore, specifying a performance level with these parameters at the input of
the HVAC equipment would ensure that harmonic mitigation equipment with that level of
performance would be provided with the equipment. A review of the non-linear loads shows
harmonic mitigation should be considered for the chillers, air handlers and chilled water
pumps that are 30 HP and larger.

 The simulations in Fig 5 through 8 show that all requirements of IEEE Std 519 can be
met without the need of additional harmonic mitigation for the other ASDs, which are all
25 HP or smaller.

Summary and Conclusion

The HVAC system of a modern hospital was analyzed using Mirus’ SOLV Computer
Simulation software. By applying passive harmonic filters at the input of all adjustable
speed drives of 30 HP and larger, IEEE Std 519 requirements were met under both
Utility and Generator supply. This demonstrates that by specifying a minimum harmon-
ic performance at the input of the larger ASD loads, the challenge of meeting IEEE Std
519 harmonic requirements can be simplified for even the most complex of power dis-
tribution systems and load profiles.
