Current Harmonics and THD Analysis

01

Pain Points

  • !Inverters/UPS/charging stations inject harmonics that must be checked against standard limits.
  • !Reading the 2nd–50th harmonic amplitudes and THD off the spectrum one line at a time is inefficient.
  • !Acoustic tools and power analysis are siloed and hard to reuse.

The Tinia Approach

FFT at the fundamental frequency, compute each-order harmonic and THD%, and overlay limit lines — the same spectrum-compliance operators from sound and vibration carry directly to power quality.
