Colleagues, I am advising on the design of a high tech oven to be used in the semiconductor industry to anneal wafers. The main supply current will be far in excess of 16 amps (in the hundreds, actually). The last time I looked (~1998) there were no applicable harmonic or flicker standards for

Don's approach does seem reasonable _if_ you build a simple R-L network to provide some impedance to the power mains. A good stiff supply might make a product look pretty good. Another thought is to look at the mains supply current for bumps and calculate what voltage would be created across t

Barbara, A very rough guide might be to observe the 230 V on the mains and see if your product causes it to dip a few volts momentarily (or do an analysis to determine worst case dip and frequency of dip). If it doesn't dip at all, you have no need to measure per 6.1. If the mains voltage do
