what is mean by harmonics?Type of harmonics?

Answer Posted / harshit shukla

-harmonics are unwanted frequencies which distort current and
voltage wave forms and also increase I2R losses in line.
-In transmission line harmonics are produced due to transient
effect.They are also produced during switching ON and OFF of
transformer(magnetic coupling device)
-It is also noticed that in line when current peak and
harmonic peak occur at the same time,I2R loss become maximun.
-harmonics can be reduced by mounting filters near
transformers or generators.
-In power electronics devices it causes fluctuation.
