why is only third harmonics is dangerous for electrical equipments?..

Answer / donaal saka

on doing harmonic analysis of any system ,we usually come across with odd harmonics due to unique symmetry of waveforms. The Amplitude of each harmonic component goes on decreasing as harmonic order increases .Since after fundamental we have third harmonic which will have appreciable amplitude and hence can affect system performance
