calculate thd

hi guys,
i am writing a code for measuring THD(total harmonic distortion) in a three phase power meter.can anyone explain what is THD and upto how many harmonics can be measured ?
i want measurement upto 41st harmonic
 

how to calculate thd

Here's a pretty good definition of total harmonic distortion

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_harmonic_distortion

The Fluke 430 claims to be able to track up to the 50th harmonic

Best regards,

Re: how to calculate thd


Hello,
any ideas how to do the same in Matlab ??
From the frequency response of the FFT, write a script that identifies the harmonics and calculate the THD ....
Any ideas ?
Many thanks.
Stef
