• Total demand distortion (TDD) is the per-phase harmonic current distortion against the full load demand of the electrical system
• TDD indicates the impact of harmonic distortion in the system
• For example, if your system is showing high THD values but a low demand, the impact of harmonic distortion on your system might be insignificant
• However at full load, the THD value for the current harmonics is equal to TDD, so this could negatively impact your system
• TDD (total demand distortion) evaluates the harmonic currents between an end user and a power source
• The harmonic values are based on a point of common coupling (PCC), which is a common point where each user receives power from the power source
• The meter uses the following equation to calculate TDD:

• Where ILoad is equal to the maximum demand load on the power system and HC is Harmonics Count
• Harmonic content (HC) is equal to the RMS value of all the non-fundamental harmonic components in one phase of the power system.
• The meter uses the following equation to calculate HC:
