Application of Australian Standards for Management of Harmonics, Unbalance & Flicker

4-5 November 2026 | Face to Face Delivery

with optional third day

This course provides understanding of Australian standards for allocation of harmonic, flicker and unbalance emission levels, covering AS/NZS TR IEC 61000.3.6, AS/NZS TR IEC 61000.3.7 and AS/NZS TR IEC 61000.3.13, with an optional third day for practical implementation.

 

Course Overview

Before connection of large loads or generators, the National Electricity Rules (NER) require action to be taken to ensure that connections will not have an adverse impact on network quality of supply. Network operators must allocate agreed disturbance emission levels, while connection proponents must ensure their installations meet emission requirements for harmonics, voltage fluctuations and flicker, and voltage unbalance. This course develops better understanding of the AS/NZS 61000 series of EMC standards and the methodologies for allocation of specific disturbance emission levels. Through analysis principles, case studies illustrating emission determination for renewable energy generators, and practical examples, you'll understand the challenges in applying Australian Standards and the steps required to practically implement them for allocating and assessing power quality emissions.
