1 scope
This part of IEC 61000 is applicable to instrumentation intended for measuring spectralcomponents in the frequency range up to 9 kHz which are superimposed on the fundamentalof the power supply systems at 50 Hz and 60 Hz.For practical considerations, this standarddistinguishes between harmonics,interharmonics and other components above the harmonicfrequency range, up to 9 kHz.
This standard defines the measurement instrumentation intended for testing individual itemsof equipment in accordance with emission limits given in certain standards (for example,harmonic current limits as given in IEC 61000-3-2) as well as for the measurement ofharmonic currents and voltages in actual supply systems. Instrumentation for measurementsabove the harmonic frequency range,up to 9 kHz is tentatively defined(see Annex B).
NOTE 1 This document deals in detail with instruments based on the discrete Fourier transform.
NOTE 2 The description of the functions and structure of the measuring instruments in this standard is veryexplicit and meant to be taken literally. This is due to the necessity of having reference instruments withreproducible results irrespective of the characteristics of the input signals.
NOTE 3 The instrument is defined to accommodate measurements of harmonics up to the 50th order.

3 Definitions, symbols and indices
For the purposes of this part of IEC 61 000, the definitions given in IEC 60050-1 61 (IEV) and the following, apply.
3.1 Definitions related to frequency analysis
Notations: The following notations are used in the present guide for the Fourier series development because it is easier to measure phase angles by observations of the zero crossings:
NOTE 2 Strictly speaking these definitions apply to steady-state signals only. The Fourier series is actually inmost cases performed digitally, i.e.as a Discrete Fourier Transform DFT, or a variant thereof, being the FFT.
The analogue signal f(t) which has to be analyzed is sampled,A/D-converted and stored.Each group of M samplesforms a time window on which DFT is performed.According to the principles of Fourier series expansion,thewindow width T, determines the frequency resolution f , -1/T, (i.e. the frequency separation of the spectralcomponents) for the analysis. Therefore the window width ry must be an integer multiple N of the fundamentalperiod T, of the system voltage: Ty = N× T. The sampling rate is in this case jg=M/(NT+(where M = number ofsamples ‘within r,).
Before DFT-processing,the samples in the time window are often weighted by multiplying them with a specialsymmetrical function (‘windowing function’).However,for periodic signals and synchronous sampling it ispreferable to use a rectangular weighting window which multiplies each sample by unity.
The DFT-processor yields the orthogonal Fourier-coefficients a and b of the corresponding spectral-componentfrequencies f= kIT’, k=0,1,2..M-1.However,only k values up to and including half of the maximum value areuseful, the other halfjust duplicates them.
Under synchronized conditions,the component of harmonic order h related to the fundamental frequency fn.appears as the spectral component of order k, where k – hN.
NOTE 3 The Fast Fourier Transform FFT is a special algorithm allowing short computation times. It requires thatthe number of samples M be an integer power of 2,M = 2′, with i ≥ 10 for example.
NOTE 4 The symbol Y is replaced, as required by the symbol l for currents, by the symbol U for voltages.Index cqualifies the variable as spectral component.
3.2Definitions related to harmonics
3.2.1
harmonic frequency,h
frequency which is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of the power system(H.i=h×5H.1)
NOTE The harmonic frequency/, , is identical with the component frequency f, , with k =h× N.
3.2.2
harmonic orderh
(integer) ratio of a harmonic frequency to the fundamental frequency of the power system. Inconnection with the analysis using DFT and synchronisation between f.1and f, (samplingrate), the harmonic order h corresponds to the spectral component k = h ×N (k = number ofthe spectral component,N = number of periods of the fundamental frequency in time windowTN)
3.2.3
r.m.s. value of a harmonic componentH,h
r.m.s. value of one of the components having a harmonic frequency in the analysis of a non-sinusoidal waveform
For brevity,such a component may be referred to simply as a “harmonic”
