DESCRIPTION :
The explanation below, used with attached tables and graph, will
enable the required level of harmonic voltage dist. %. to be estimated by selection
of an appropriate generator. To achieve this required level of system harmonic
voltage distortion the generator must have a maximum calculated value of
sub-transient reactance [ Xd ], for the kVA level, [or base kVA] associated with
the connected Non Linear Load. Below is a quick Method to be used
inconjunction with experience about typical and acceptable levels of THD,
followed by the classic mathematical approach for when all the information is
provided.

If the required level of harmonic Voltage distortion is 10% then the value of the
generators Xd at the NLLs rated input kVA will need to be 3.5%
A table showing the generators kVA ratings with Xd at 12%, 5.3% and 3.5% is
below. [excel attachment . NLLs Reactances v kVA xls ]

The following formula can be used in order to calculate the harmonic voltage
distortion by considering each individual harmonic number, although this is
usually restricted to 5th, 7th 11th, 13th, 17th, 19th 23rd, 25th.
