  • Abstract
    The effect of rectifier harmonic currents on power systems is described. Rectifiers and inverters require nonsinusoidal waves of current. These current waves are made up of a number of sine waves which are harmonics of the fundamental wave. These harmonic currents can excite resonant circuits causing them to ``ring´´ and produce large oscillating currents. Criteria as to possible problem areas are discussed and illustrated with case studies. Examples of application of filters to ``trap´´ these harmonic currents are included.
