1.6 Harmonics Overview
1.6.1 Harmonics
Non-linear loads such as found with 6-pulse frequency
converters do not draw current uniformly from the power
line. This non-sinusoidal current has components which are
multiples of the fundamental current frequency. These
components are referred to as harmonics. It is important to
control the total harmonic distortion on the mains supply.
Although the harmonic currents do not directly affect
electrical energy consumption, they generate heat in
wiring and transformers and can impact other devices on
the same power line.

1.6.2 Harmonic Analysis
Since harmonics increase heat losses, it is important to
design systems with harmonics in mind to prevent
overloading the transformer, inductors, and wiring.
When necessary, perform an analysis of the system
harmonics to determine equipment effects.
A non-sinusoidal current is transformed with a Fourier
series analysis into sine-wave currents at different
frequencies, that is, different harmonic currents I
Hz or 60 Hz as the fundamental frequency.
