The first group is power consumers, replaced by constant resistance. Their power, consumed from the network depends on the square of the volt­age at the terminals.
The second one is power consumers equipped with an automatic regula­tor necessary to control the power consumed. For example, an automatic temperature controller to heat the parts in an electric furnace. In this case, when the voltage changes, the current consumption from the network is changed by the regulator as to ensure the required heating level of the parts. In this case, the allowed change in voltage in the electrical network is de­termined by the characteristics of a controller.
The third group is power consumers designed for a wide range of power supply voltages. For example, power supply units of some electronic devic­es (TVs, computers, etc.) ensure the normal operation of these devices with the network voltage in the range of 100-260 V. For such power consumers, the current consumed from the circuit significantly depends on the voltage in the network.

2. VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS
2.1. Main Definitions and Standards
Voltage fluctuations are rapid changes that cause the blinking of the brightness of electric lighting lamps or some other negative manifestations for other consumers.
The cause of voltage fluctuations is cause rapid changes in voltage losses (Figure 2.1):

Fig. 2.1. The voltage fluctuations
A sample list of technological equipment with a peak (shock) load, causing voltage fluctuations, is given in Table 2.1. From the above list, the highest frequency of voltage fluctuations is caused by the operation of pis­ton compressors.
Figure 2.1 shows the graph of the RMS voltage envelope – a step time function formed by root-mean-square voltage values that are discretely de­termined at each half-period of the fundamental frequency, that is, at con­secutive 10 ms time intervals.

– the time interval between voltage fluctuations (between the initial moments of time following one after another voltage changes);

3.1. The Main Definitions and Standards
The cause of non-sinusoidal voltage in electrical networks is the so­called non-linear load. Non-linear load is the load, of which depends on the current or the voltage magnitude. Therefore, at a
sinusoidal voltage of the power supply, nonlinear loads consume non­sinusoidal current (Fig. 3.1). Non-sinusoidal current, flowing

The main sources of high voltage harmonics (non-linear loads) in elec-
trical networks of power supply systems are:
valve converters, the unit capacity of which in metallurgical enter-
prises reaches 6–8 MW;
electric arc furnaces with unit capacity from 2 to 25 mW;
sets for electric arc-welding of metals;
installations with electric discharge lighting lamps.
In Figure 3.2 (a) line 1 is a normal linear load, for which the relationship between the instantaneous values of the current and the voltage applied is linear. Curve 2 is characteristic of high-power rectifiers with high induct­ance in the rectified current circuit. Curve 3 – for electric receivers that use an electric arc: electric arc furnaces, electric arc welding sets, etc.
