About this calculator

Calculate voltage or current total harmonic distortion and total RMS from measured fundamental and harmonic components.

Method and assumptions

THD = root-sum-square of entered harmonic RMS components ÷ fundamental RMS × 100. Total RMS is the root-sum-square of the fundamental and entered harmonic components.

Components are assumed to be distinct frequency orders measured on the same basis. The result is not a compliance determination.
