Spectrum™ Features
Comprehensive Harmonics Computations
-
Both integer and non-integer harmonics supported
-
View flows of an individual harmonic current (i.e. 3rd, 5th, 7th, 11th … 50th) directly on the one-line
-
The source of this individual harmonic current can be from all harmonic-producing equipment in the system or from a user-specified current injection at a bus
-
Troubleshoot resonant areas and determine the cause of high total harmonic distortion (THD) currents
-
Triplen harmonics modeled as either zero sequence or positive sequence
-
Full long line simulation including hyperbolic correction
-
Skin effect simulated with two common approaches
Frequency Scan Plots
-
Shows resonant and natural filter conditions
-
Positive and zero-sequence scans
-
Impedance bus scans (ohms or per-unit)
-
Current for non-bus scans (amps or per-unit)
-
Full customization capabilities including: quantity of items to plot, colors, fonts, ranges, copying/pasting of graphics, and save options
-
Allows 1–10 plots with multiple Y axes
Detailed Library of Harmonic-Producing Equipment
-
DC or inverter drive systems, arc and induction furnaces, switch-mode power supplies, rectifiers, PWM drives, fluorescent lighting, and welders
-
Full customization ability to add/modify harmonic-producing equipment
-
All equipment is modeled by injection of harmonic currents into the system
-
EasyPower loads, motors, MCCs, and panels can be specified as harmonic-producing sources
Detailed Harmonic Filter Modeling
-
Model notch, 1st order, 2nd order, or 3rd order filters
-
Detailed reporting for filter-component harmonic calculations
IEEE 519 Verification
-
Current-demand distortion comparison for odd and even harmonic orders, and TDD
-
Voltage THD comparison
Complete Summation Output on the One-Line
-
Reports ITHD, IRSS, IT Product (for telephone interference)
-
VTHD, VRSS, VTIF (for telephone interference), VSUM
-
Transformer K-factor and C57.110 de-rating, conductor de-rating, and losses
True One-Line Integration
-
Total integration of all voltage and current harmonics and their effect on electrical equipment, including harmonic overloads, losses, and K-factor requirements
-
Problem areas are highlighted on the one-line, eliminating time-consuming guesswork
Spectrum also includes Integrated One-Line, SmartBreaker™, ScenarioManager™, MCC and Panel Schedules, and SendCAD™.
