Hth Harmonic RMS Voltage Calculator

In an electric power system, a harmonic is a voltage or current at a multiple of the fundamental frequency of the system. Harmonics can best be described as the shape or characteristics of a voltage or current waveform relative to its fundamental frequency. This calculator calculates the Hth Harmonic RMS Voltage of a Three Phase PWM Inverter.

Enter the Line to Line RMS Voltage of the fundamental harmonic, Hth harmonic and h=1 harmonic from harmonics table to calculate the Hth Harmonic RMS Voltage

Electrical systems with harmonics experience distortion and sinusoidal waveform deviation in current and voltage.

Non-linear loads linked to the distribution system are what create harmonic currents. When the current a load draws does not have the same waveform as the supply voltage, the load is said to be non-linear. Harmonic voltages are produced as a result of the flow of harmonic currents via system impedances, which distort the supply voltage.
