This paper summarizes the results of a two phase project regarding measurements of both voltage and current harmonics at numerous locations within a utility system. Using a dynamic signal analyzer, a multipen plotter, and other data acquisition systems, the voltage and current harmonics were measured, stored and plotted at various substations during each phase of the project. This resulted in a total of 1120 measurements. Also, twenty four hour measurements were made at some locations to obtain time of day variations of the harmonic pattern. Various tables are presented to facilitate analysis of data and comparison of the voltage and current harmonics for multigrounded and unigrounded distribution systems and associated transmission lines.
