why do harmonics generata?

Answer Posted / guru

Harmonics generate when there are lot of electronic devices
(Generally electronics circuit generates many waves like
square, triangle etc.) connected to a electric supply. This
is due to distortion of sinusoidal waves (AC waves) . That
is there are lot of waves generated internally inside the
sinusoidal waves.

It is classified as 2nd, 3rd,4th, 6th, 8th, 9th harmonic
waves and so on. Usually 2nd and multiples 2nd waves are
not so harmful to AC circuits and equipments. But 3rd and
multiples of 3rd harmonic waves make many disturbances and
transmission linelosses to AC Power.

There are many filters available in the AC circuit to
prevent the harmonic waves loss

54 Comments Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 38 + X*(Y – Z) where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be?
