Harmonic Sources

2.1    Introduction

Although power system harmonics is the topic of this book, it is important to stress that harmonic waveform distortion is just one of many different disturbances that perturb the operation of electrical systems. It is also a unique problem in light of an increasing use of power electronics that basically operate through electronic switching. Fortunately, the sources of harmonic currents seem to be sufficiently well identified, so industrial, commercial, and residential facilities are exposed to well-known patterns of waveform distortion.

Different nonlinear loads produce different but identifiable harmonic spectra. This makes the task of pinpointing possible culprits of harmonic distortion more tangible. ...
