what are the main hormonics in ac?..

Answer / varun devulapalli

basically harmonics are the distorsion in the system waveform. these may lead to the poor sine wave and hence the system performance is effected. Harmonics are of two types : even harmonics and odd harmonics. Compared to even harmonics odd harmonics are very dangerous. if in a one half cycle of the main wave there are 3 half cycles, then it is 3rd harmonic. and similarly if in one half cycle of the main wave there are 5 half cycles, then it is 5th harmonic. the above said are odd harmonics. similarly for even harmonics, there will be even no of half cycles for each half cycle of the mainn wave.

an amazing situation was faced when an alive distribution panel with 415 volts and carrying almost 200Amps has become short and this metal cubical showing 220 volts against neutral and earth. to redress any confusion i checked the panel with help of single 200watts test lamp which also glowing with max.intensity b/w neutral & metal body of DB. amazing situation is that i hold the DB firmly more than once with necked foot means without insulated shoes but not received any electrical shock. whereas our all running gen sets neutral points also proper grounded and this short DB was completely earthed , this is beyond my understanding . any body explain how is it possible . our running gen set neutral also grounded firmly
