4.4 Measuring Harmonic Current
4.4.1 Harmonic current
Some electric devices of AC power input have its input current waveform greatly distorted from the
sine wave. When the power input section uses a capacitor input type rectifier circuit, the input
current typically distorts as shown in Figure 4–20. A waveform distorted like this contains many
harmonic components. If a current with many harmonic components is supplied to the power line in
high volume, the line voltage is distorted, causing problems such as malfunction of devices and
overheated transformer which may result in accidents.
