Harmonics Mitigation

Power quality is a term used to discuss events on electric power grids that can damage or disrupt sensitive electronic devices. There are many ways in which a power feed can be poor quality, and so no single figure can completely quantify the quality of a power feed.

It is often useful to think of power quality as a compatibility problem: is the equipment connected to the grid compatible with the events on the grid, and is the power delivered by the grid, including the events, compatible with the equipment that is connected? Compatibility problems always have at least two solutions. In this case, either clean up the power, or make the equipment tougher.
