Abstract :
The affect of harmonics on single phase transformer are presented in this paper. This research focuses on the transformer losses under nonlinear loads with a sinusoidal supply voltage. A practical approach is proposed which allows for the observation of harmonics. The total harmonic distortion and losses were analyzed and shown. Moreover, the relationship between transformer losses and harmonics are reported.
