Real time measurement and analysis of non-linearity injected by computer loads in LT distribution system using LabVIEW

This paper describes the behaviour and characteristic of different computer loads which affect the L.T distribution power system. It has become necessary for finding means to tackle the current harmonics problem in distribution systems before it is too late. Computer loads are identified as one of the significant harmonics creating load. A state of the art measurement and analysis has been done using LabVIEW tools to study the behaviour of the loads.
