What is THD and how it is calculated?
The total harmonic distortion (THD or THDi) is a measurement of the harmonic distortion present in a signal and is defined as the ratio of the sum of the powers of all harmonic components to the power of the fundamental frequency. Distortion factor, a closely related term, is sometimes used as a synonym.
What is a good THD value?
Measuring THD
For best results, the voltage THD should not exceed 5%, and the current THD should not exceed 20% of the fundamental frequency.
