Answer / gunnam santosh

harmonics are mainly produced due to leakage fluxes
basically in transformers and ac generators.these leakage
fluxes induces there respective emfs in the armature which
causes an effect on fundamental waveform and distorts the
fundamental waveforms.basically there are even as well as
odd harmonics.even means even number of positive and
negative cycles in one cycles of fundamental wave
cycles,these have zero effect as they neutralizes by
positive and negative cycles.where as odd harmonics has
major effect.basically star connected armature windings are
used to reduce odd hormincs.
and by using short pitched windings

Answer / abhidewas

Harmonics are the different frequency components.

the odd multiple harmonics like 3rd 5th 7th are most dangerous.

Answer / abdul wajid

Harmonics is the sudden increase in the system voltage it
is caused by addition of unwanted frequencies to the
sinusiodal waveform of ac system . 3rd harmonics is
dangerous

i am using auto transformer for starting of induction motor to provide reduse voltages...but the principle of a tansformer according to definition"which transform energy to on circuit to another circuit with constant power and constant frequency". so if i am using reduse voltage then current obsely hige because power is same.but we use auto transfarmer for starting of induction motor to give low current.but here according to definition we are giving hige current.
