ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATION G5/4-1 BRINGS GREATER INDUSTRY EMPHASIS ON HARMONICS.......
'Engineering Recommendation G5/4 replaced the former Electricity Council Engineering Recommendation G5/3, which had been in place since 1976, during which period the network has seen a vast expansion of the numbers of rectifiers used both industrially, in terms of drives and controls, rail traction supplies, in the office environment within IT and in domestic appliances.
There has been a tendency for distortion levels, especially the 5th harmonic, to increase although it is generally considered that consumer equipment is the main source of this distortion. G5/4 also introduced areas new to regulation in the UK, including sub-harmonics, interharmonics, and voltage notching.
The original edition of G5/4 included certain limits which were to be applied from 1st January 2005. However, after discussion with industry it was agreed to modify this requirement, and this has resulted in G5/4-1:2005'
