Abstract

This paper presents a harmonic analysis performed an urban feeder named FAB located in Macapá City whose objective is to evaluate how a set of nonlinear loads impact in the voltage harmonic distortion rate of this network. The harmonic currents of the nonlinear loads were obtained by
one-month measurement campaign carried out in this feeder during July, 2017, and it was verified that the nonlinear loads did not caused a significant impact in FAB’s harmonic levels.
