Harmonics Plot Output
Select Harmonics Options, and click the Plot Output tab to control the Frequency Scan plots and the Summation Bar Chart plots.
To set harmonics options, from the Harmonics focus, click Harmonics Options. You can also access the options from within the Database Edit focus by selecting Tools > Options > Analysis Options > Harmonics.

Y-Axis Frequency Scan Units |
|
Plot Bus Output |
Specify the unit for frequency scan Y-axis. The choices are kV(LL), Vpu, Ohms, Zpu, Rpu, Xpu, and Angle (Deg). |
Plot Branch Current |
Specify the unit for frequency scan Y-axis for branches such as cables and transformers. The choices are Ipu and Amps. |
Y-Axis Bar Charts Units |
|
Bus Voltage |
Specify the unit for Summation Bar Chart Y-axis. The choices are Vpu, V(LL) and kV(LL). |
Branch Current |
Specify the unit for frequency scan Y-axis for branches such as cables and transformers. The choices are Amps, Per-unit (system base) and Per-unit (Equipment rating base). |
X-Axis |
|
X-Axis |
Set the x-axis units to either frequency in hertz or harmonic multiple. |
Frequency Scan Range | These fields control the Start and Stop points and the Step size for frequency scans. Be aware that a data point will be generated and output for each step. Since the plot output is limited to 5000 data points per curve, selecting a very small step size may limit the scan range. |
Summation Bar Chart Range | When plots are defined, selecting Summation opens the plot viewer and displays bar charts. These fields specify the bar chart range. |
