  • Abstract
    This paper provides a perspective on limiting factors on short term harmonic levels. The difficulties of applying a short term THD limit on capacitors is apparent. Clearly, rapid variations in distortion levels fall into the category of transients rather than harmonics. As the speed of the variations decrease, at some point the distortion is more clearly described as being a set of harmonics of varying magnitude rather than a transient phenomena.
