Definition and Origin of Harmonics

Published by Electrical Installation Wiki, Chapter M. Power harmonics management – Definition and origin of harmonics Definition of Harmonics The presence of harmonics in electrical systems means that current and voltage are distorted and deviate from sinusoidal waveforms. Harmonic currents are caused by non-linear loads connected to the distribution system. A load is said toContinue reading “Definition and Origin of Harmonics”
