| Abstract | The objective of this thesis is to compare and analyze the power quality indices and current waveform of low power Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) which are local brands and commercial brands. The tested CFL wattages are less than 25 watt, according to a standard IEC 61000-3-2. The local brand CFLs are 11 and 20 W whereas the commercial brand CFLs are 3,6,9,11,20 and 24 W. The power quality indices have been calculated from their waveform in terms of total harmonic distortion and power factor. The current harmonics are also analyzed. According to IEC 61000-3-2 class C, the current total harmonic distortion (THD) should not be more than 80% while the voltage THD should not be more than 10%. Moreover, power factor should not be less than 80%. Their current waveform should be in a standard IEC 61000-3-2. The measured data, in this work, has been taken from "harmonic-db.wcms-file2.tu-dresden.de", provided by Technical University of Dresden. This thesis has provided information to customers in order to select suitable type of CFLs. The recommendation is to choose CFLs with efficiency to save cost. The commercial brand is the only option for customers. |
