How to Measure Motor Back-EMF THD with FFT
A practical guide to harmonic distortion analysis using a free browser-based tool Back-EMF (Back Electromotive Force) is the voltage generated by a spinning motor. Analysing its harmonic content reveals critical information about motor quality, winding symmetry, and potential electromagnetic interference. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the standard metric used to quantify this distortion. This guide walks through the complete process — from capturing the waveform to obtaining a reliable THD value — using a free, browser-based FFT analyser that requires no software installation. ...
