Abstract
This paper describes a series of harmonic calculations to predict the voltage distortion on an offshore oil production platform following the installation of variable frequency drives. A series of field tests is also described which provided measured values to compare with those calculated. I t is concluded that the calculation technique is accurate providing adequate information i s available to describe the converlor loading and the operating pattern. Both calculated and measured rcsults demonstrate the advantageous feature that harmonic voltage distortion does not increase linearly with converlor loading.
