AB The identification of distortion sources in a powersystem is a topic unsolved. The problem has a difficult solutionbecause there are elements in the system that do not produceharmonic but amplifies the existing in the electrical network. Themost common of those elements is the capacitor, very used tocompensate power factor at fundamental frequency. Thecapacitor behaviour makes that the indices proposed up now toidentify distorsion indices fail in the presence of this element. Inthis paper, a new one is presented: the load characterizationindex. Besides using an extended equivalent circuit to representthe load, this index calculates the distortion introduced by theload, evaluating, besides the current distortion at its input, thevoltage distortion at its terminals. The introduction of voltageassesing makes the index suitable to identify the linear and nonlinearloads in the power system even in the presence ofcapacitors.
