| Abstract | ||
| Harmonics injected to the power system by various equipments represent a burden on the system. The increase in the r.m.s current and therefore, the power consumption due to harmonics is one of its negative consequences. The identification of harmonic sources, the representation of the harmonics and the analysis of the behavior of the equipments with the existence of the harmonics show that a significant increase in these equipment consumption is due to the harmonics. The load distribution in Saudi Arabia has indicated that air conditioning consumes about 70% of the load in residential, commercial and governmental sectors. Therefore, the analysis of the impact of the harmonics on the energy consumption of air conditions can verify the benefit gained by increasing the efficiency of these systems with harmonic damping. This paper presents the results of the harmonic measurements conducted for different type of air conditions in nurnber of loads. It indicates an increase in the consumption of these system due to harmonics. The results show the degree of the harmonic level and therefore, the effect on the equipment efficiency. | ||
