What is the difference between harmonics and transients? Harmonics and transients can both create distortion on the sinewave. They are both a cause of deviation of the sinewave from its actual form. However, the basic difference between harmonics and transients is that harmonics tend to stay more in a system. Transients are hugely repetitive and are nanosecond occurrences. Whereas transients are created by inductive load switching, harmonics are created specifically by non-linear loads. How do you know if you have a Harmonics issue? It’s easy to assume you have a harmonics issue. However, hav...

What if your production line stopped because of a single pushbutton? Imagine the operating loss that may induce the failure of the operator control of your equipment, which represents less than 1% of its cost. In industry, there is usually a loss of productivity that can exceed 10%, due to industrial equipment failures. This is a very important source of economy. To reach this deposit, a sum of precautions must be in place and we must think of every eventuality, including the failure of the operator dialogue devices. Installation stopping because of a banal pilot light or pushbutton is in...
