What is harmonics. How does it get generated and means to
arrest harmonics

Answer Posted / umair qayyum

Deviation of an ac signal from pure sinoside causes the
harmonics to exist.They are generated both because of non
linear loads; and generators because of the nonuniform
srator windings and magnetic fields in practical case.
When a sonosidal voltage is applied to a linear load,a
proportional current is also drawn with it.But when it is
applied to a non linear load,it causes the current to vary
disproportionately with the voltage due to which
nonsinosidal waveforms are created containg
distortions,whereby 50/60 hertz frequency contains numerous
waveforms superimposed upon it which are the multiple
frequencies of the normal 50/60 hz sine wave.

1)we have 1000 cfm Blower,Dia-1Mtr,Velocity of air 94 m/s 2)We have Natural Air velocity 94m/s 3If i Put Wind Mill in natural air ,speed is 94m/s Then it will generate Assume 100kw 4)If i put same wind mill across the Blower,air speed is same 94m/s now the Question is Will it generate 100 kw?
