German term

harmonische und zwischenharmonische Oberschwingungsbereiche

German to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Durch entsprechenden Aufbau der Kompensationsanlage ist zu gewährleisten, dass Oberschwingungen in allen harmonischen und zwischenharmonischen Oberschwingungsbereichen eine Nennleistung von 5% der Gesamtnennleistung nicht übersteigt.

I am a bit confused. I found harmonic for Oberschwingung, so now I am not sure how to deal with this term. Thanks

harmonic and interharmonic

Zwischenharmonische
(interharmonic)
Sinusförmige Schwingungen, deren Frequenzenkein ganzzahliges Vielfaches (µ) der Netzfrequenz sind.

--------------------------------------------------

Interharmonic is any signal who's frequency is not an integral multiple of the fundamental signal's frequency. For example, if the fundamental's frequency is 1 MHz, then the first harmonic's frequency would be 2 MHz, the second, 3 MHz, etc. A signal with a frequency of, say, 1.5 MHz would be, ipso facto, an interharmonic.

So an interharmonic isn't really a harmonic at all. At least not of the fundamental signal in question.

agree Ken Cox : see e.g. rouper.ieee.org/groups/harmonic/iharm/docs/ih519b.pdf // 'Oberschwingungsbereiche' needs to be translated a bit loosely methinks.

harmonics

I am not sure what they are referring to with "zwischenharmonische", but in North America, the filters are often specified to reduce harmonic distortion to 5% of nominal voltage. There are first order hamonics, second order hamonics, even, odd, etc. but I am not aware of any intermediary harmonics.

agree Arthur Allmendinger : Interharmonics are also multiples of some base frequency, but the base frequency is multiplied with a non-integer factor. For example 127 Hz is an interharmonic of base 50 Hz.
