Fifty utilities in the US and Canada responded to a questionnaire survey regarding concerns about nonsinusoidal waveforms in the electric distribution network. Responses regarding instrumentation, definitions, rates, and trends are presented and discussed. The main objectives of the survey were: determine the instrumentation (principle and construction) used at present to measure active and reactive power and energy; evaluate utility engineers` awareness of the limitations of existing definitions of reactive power, distortion power, apparent power, etc.; evaluate utility engineers` awareness of errors and malfunctions of instrumentation operating in a non-sinusoidal environment; identify how utility customers are charged; identify future trends in metering that are anticipated by utility engineers; and pave the road toward practical definitions of the quantities that should be measured for revenue, voltage profile control, and power quality.
