Effects harmonics have on different system components.
Equipment Effects of harmonics
Capacitors :Amplify harmonics on electrical distribution system
Electrical wiring: Phase and neutral conductors undersized.
Engine generators: Transferring capability and operation disrupted.
Induction motors May fail prematurely due to fifth harmonic.
Metering: Inaccurate measurement of power.
Overcurrent protection: Breaker and fuse nuisance tripping.
Sensitive electronic loads :Voltage drop between neutral and earth .
Decreased efficiency and overheating Uninterruptible power systems Line and load interaction
