N2 - The reactive energy meters used in electric distribution networks are based on a conventional definition of reactive energy (or power) for sinusoidal voltages and currents, containing only the fundamental frequency component. As a consequence, the performances of reactive energy meters in the presence of harmonic distortion are not tested and their accuracy specifications can be very different from the nominal ones, that are evaluated in sinusoidal conditions. In this paper the authors present a comparative study of the performances of different reactive energy meters, both electromechanical and static, in the presence of harmonic distortion; the study is supported by several simulations and experimental tests.
