To function properly, modern electrical devices require high quality, reliable, sinusoidal power supply. The more the use of electricity has encreased, the more sources for interferences can be found in the network. The harmful harmonics are a result of non-linear electric loads. Examples of such non-linear loads are battery chargers, electronic ballasts and variable frequency drives, which are applications equipped with power electronic devices. Harmonics cause overloading to transformers, switchgear and cables not forgetting the possibility of malfunctioning of protective devices.
