Abstract

Distorted currents drawn by nonlinear loads used in power installations (including lighting) can cause many problems. With the constantly progressing increase in the number of these loads, these phenomena can accumulate, constituting significant causes of serious failures in both electrical and electronic devices, as well as installation components. The effects of disturbances introduced to the network by nonlinear loads may include, for example, line overloads, overheating of transformers and motors, capacitor failures, accelerated degradation of insulation, etc. The article presents examples of measurement results for luminaires with discharge and LED sources. Measurements of the electrical parameters of a three-phase outdoor lighting installation consisting of luminaires with low-power LED sources and luminaires with discharge sources are also discussed. Based on the recorded waveforms, the measurement results were determined. High harmonic values for the phase currents and the current in the neutral conductor were recorded. The results of measurements of the parameters of LED luminaires with control systems, the operation of which causes excessive heat generation, are presented. The methodology for cable selection in circuits with current harmonics is described.
