Short Glossary
Harmonics are voltages or currents with a frequency that is an integral multiple of the fundamental
supply frequency.
Interharmonics are voltages or currents with a frequency that is a non-integral multiple of the
fundamental supply frequency. Interharmonics, always present in the power system, have recently
become of more importance since the widespread use of power electronic systems results in an
increase of their magnitude. POWER QUALITY ANALYSIS
Voltage Dips is a short-term reduction in, or complete loss of, RMS voltage. It is specified in terms of
duration and retained voltage, usually expressed as the percentage of nominal RMS voltage remaining at
the lowest point during the voltage dip. A voltage dip means that the required energy is not being
delivered to the load and this can have serious consequences depending on the type of load involved.
Voltage swell is a temporary increase of the voltage at a point in the electrical system above a threshold.
Flicker is the impression of unsteadiness of visual sensation induced by a light stimulus, the luminance
or spectral distribution of which fluctuates with time. Usually it applies to cyclic variation of light intensity
of lamps caused by fluctuation of the supply voltage.
Periodics is the base for power quality measurements. In fact the EN50160 measurement is a periodic
measurement with the recording parameters set to EN50160 standard requirements. Measuring period
is the time period between the beginning and end of the measurement.
Waveform is defined as a steady-state deviation from an ideal sine wave of power frequency principally
characterized by the spectral content of the deviation.
Fast logging is a measurement similar to a waveform recording but instead of storing 64 points in a
wave half-period, only the RMS value of a particular half-period is saved.
Transients are sudden changes of steady state voltage, current or load. These sudden changes are
mostly found as the result of the operation of switching devices. Transients can cause oscillatory ringing.
Filters are used to prevent these ringing oscillations from affecting delicate equipment.
EN 50160 was approved by the European Committee for Electrotehnical Standardization (CENELEC) in
1994. EN 50160 specifies voltage characteristics at the customers supply terminals or in public LV and
MV electricity distribution systems under normal operating conditions.

Short Glossary
Harmonics are voltages or currents with a frequency that is an integral multiple of the fundamental
supply frequency.
Interharmonics are voltages or currents with a frequency that is a non-integral multiple of the
fundamental supply frequency. Interharmonics, always present in the power system, have recently
become of more importance since the widespread use of power electronic systems results in an
increase of their magnitude. POWER QUALITY ANALYSIS
Voltage Dips is a short-term reduction in, or complete loss of, RMS voltage. It is specified in terms of
duration and retained voltage, usually expressed as the percentage of nominal RMS voltage remaining at
the lowest point during the voltage dip. A voltage dip means that the required energy is not being
delivered to the load and this can have serious consequences depending on the type of load involved.
Voltage swell is a temporary increase of the voltage at a point in the electrical system above a threshold.
Flicker is the impression of unsteadiness of visual sensation induced by a light stimulus, the luminance
or spectral distribution of which fluctuates with time. Usually it applies to cyclic variation of light intensity
of lamps caused by fluctuation of the supply voltage.
Periodics is the base for power quality measurements. In fact the EN50160 measurement is a periodic
measurement with the recording parameters set to EN50160 standard requirements. Measuring period
is the time period between the beginning and end of the measurement.
Waveform is defined as a steady-state deviation from an ideal sine wave of power frequency principally
characterized by the spectral content of the deviation.
Fast logging is a measurement similar to a waveform recording but instead of storing 64 points in a
wave half-period, only the RMS value of a particular half-period is saved.
Transients are sudden changes of steady state voltage, current or load. These sudden changes are
mostly found as the result of the operation of switching devices. Transients can cause oscillatory ringing.
Filters are used to prevent these ringing oscillations from affecting delicate equipment.
EN 50160 was approved by the European Committee for Electrotehnical Standardization (CENELEC) in
1994. EN 50160 specifies voltage characteristics at the customers supply terminals or in public LV and
MV electricity distribution systems under normal operating conditions.
