Analysis of Harmonic Phase Angles
For the voltage and current harmonics, the following values are given additionally:
•
Prevailing phase angle (Prev°; PreAngle in user interface)
•
Prevailing ratio (PR)
The prevailing phase angle represents harmonic emissions for intervals (such as 10 min aggregation
interval). The Prev° indicates the phase angle of a certain load. The prevailing phase angle is calculated via
the aggregation time from the phase angles of the 10-cycle or 12-cycle intervals. In the graphics in the following
table, the prevailing phase angle is displayed as a red line.
The prevailing ratio indicates load fluctuations during aggregation and indicates the degree of the variation of
a phase angle. For a prevailing-ratio value of 1, the phase angle of the corresponding harmonic is constant
(PR = 1: no fluctuation). The phase angles of the large variation (see following table), which have a prevailing
ratio of <0.8, are high dispersal and the prevailing phasor has no useful meaning.
The table shows 3 examples for the relation between prevailing ratio and prevailing phase angle:

Prevailing ratio
However, the prevailing phasor only has sense if the harmonic phase angles have a low variation (the
measurements are not high dispersed in the complex plane). The prevailing ratio (PR) is proposed to indicate
how much the harmonic measurements vary in the complex plane.
