In this paper, an analysis of the emissions of an LED lamp is performed, when it is connected in parallel with electrical devices of linear and non-linear behavior. The objective is to determine if the presence of other loads connected in the same installation can cause a change in the emissions of the LED lamp. A measurement assembly and a test electrical network are built to perform the measurements of voltage and current emissions generated by the LED lamp between 1 Hz and 250 kHz. Incandescent, CFL and LED lamps of different power and technology are used as test loads. The analysis of results indicates that the increase of devices connected in parallel to an LED bulb can in general reduce the current THD. However, there are components in the current emission that increase their RMS value.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
