Here in my area we have a THD of 7.8%. The IEEE (Institute of Electrical Engineering) Standard 519,
the THD measurement should be less than 5%.
We are working with the local power company to help figure out what the issue is. It is wide spread effecting many customers.
To help gather THD data, Could members who own a power plant post their input THD numbers and the area they are located?
Thanks!
If it’s higher than 5% they are outside service agreement and should fix the issue.

It has gone up to as high as 10%THD here in Baltimore, MD area
Crazy high! I’m on ComEd in Woodridge. I’m around 4% (I’m a major league throw from the Edison substation that feeds my neighborhood, hope no one shoots at it, I like electricity). It got worse when they installed smart meters.
It’s pretty high today here in Munson Township, Ohio 44024. . . 2.3% . . . usually it’s between 1.8 and 2.0. THD out remains 0.1 all the time. P15 and P10 in use.
This made me check. I haven’t checked in some time. At our new home in Fayetteville, AR I have 1.3%-1.8% in and 0.1% out. It is a new neighborhood with all underground utilities. The substation is about 300 yards away.
