Survey of Harmonics in Non Linear Loads

The use of non linear loads is increasing day by day. This increasing use of non linear loads has created more distortions in current and voltage waveforms. This increased power quality disturbances has lead to various optimizations techniques and filter designs. Harmonic distortions are the major cause for power quality problems. For this analyzing the harmonics present in non linear loads is significant. Here a survey is made to show details of harmonics present in various non linear loads.
