What are the Effects of Harmonics?

by MTE Admin | Apr 13, 2018 | Harmonic Mitigation (Line Side Issues & Solutions)

A power system’s ability to perform at optimal levels is compromised when harmonic distortion enters the system. It creates inefficiencies in equipment operations due to the increased need for power consumption. The increase of overall current required creates higher...

What Causes Harmonics?

by MTE Admin | Apr 13, 2018 | Harmonic Mitigation (Line Side Issues & Solutions)

Nonlinear loads are the primary causes of harmonics in an electrical system. Non-linear loads draw short bursts of current, which creates a situation where current is not proportional to the voltage. These loads create harmonic distortion that can have adverse effects...
