Measurement and simulation of harmonic propagation in MV-systems

The paper describes the results of harmonic measurements and calculation for the connection of a high power converter-fed induction furnace to an MV power system. The results indicated the specific needs for data collection, especially load data and the requirement. Furthermore, it is pointed out that calculations give only a tentative hint on the harmonic propagation, but measurement is an indispensable part for the analysis of harmonic propagation in power systems.
