The metered voltage harmonics values are displayed in this menu. The "SRC 1" text will be replaced by the programmed

To extract the 2nd to 25th voltage harmonics, each harmonic is computed on a per-phase basis, where:
N = 64 is the number of samples per cycle
ω
= 2πf is the angular frequency based on the system frequency (50 or 60 Hz)
0
k = 1, 2,..., N – 1 is the index over one cycle for the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
m is the last sample number for the sliding window
h = 1, 2,..., 25 is the harmonic number
The short-time Fourier transform is applied to the unfiltered signal:
The harmonics are a percentage of the fundamental signal obtained as a ratio of harmonic amplitude to fundamental ampli-
tude multiplied by 100%. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the total harmonic content to the fundamental:
Voltage harmonics are calculated only for Wye connected phase VTs. Ensure the
