Abstract: One method for the remote management of electrical equipment is ripple control (RC), based on the injection of voltage interharmonics into the power network to transmit information. The disadvantage of this method is its negative impact on energy consumers, such as light sources, speakers, and devices counting zero crossings. This study investigates the effect of RC on low-voltage induction motors through the use of experimental and finite element methods. The results show that the provisions concerning RC included in the European Standard EN 50160 Voltage Characteristics of Electricity Supplied by Public Distribution Network are imprecise, failing to protect induction motors against excessive vibration.
