It depends on the frequency in the expression of the function. A third harmonic would mean that the frequency is 3 omega, thus the circuit will consist only of the quantities that have 3 omega in the expression. For example if you have :

e(t)=5sin(3ωt+π/4) and is(t)=7sin(ωt+π/4), in the first harmonic the e(t) quantity

will disappear from the circuit while in the third harmonic the is(t) quantity will be neglected.

Why even harmonics do not exits in ac machines?

Because the resulting voltage waveform is symmetric about the center of the rotor flux, no even harmonics are present in the phase voltage.

What are disadvantages of harmonics?

harmonics increase heating of motors ,transformers and capacitors .Power system protecting relays may operate falsly, meters give inaccurate readings,interference with telephone lines may also occur. Moreover resonance due to harmonics also causes problems


Why even harmonics are not present in push pull amplifier?

Symmetrical push/pull circuits must cancel even ordered harmonics, like f2, f4, f6 and therefore promote odd ordered harmonics, like (f1), f3, f5 when driven into the nonlinear range.

Why third harmonics more dominate than the other harmonics?

Third harmonics are often more dominant than other harmonics due to their resonance characteristics in many electrical systems and their ability to interact with nonlinear loads. Nonlinear devices, such as rectifiers and inverters, tend to generate significant third harmonic currents, which can combine constructively in power systems. Additionally, the presence of transformers and certain configurations of electrical networks can amplify the third harmonic, making it more pronounced compared to higher-order harmonics. This dominance can lead to increased heating, equipment stress, and potential interference in power quality.

What is difference between overtone and harmonics?

The first harmonic is the fundamental. The second harmonic the first overtone. The third harmonic the second overtone. The fourth harmonic the third overtone. Even-numbered harmonics are odd-numbered overtones. Odd-numbered harmonics are even-numbered overtones.


What is the fundamental frequency?

For a waveform containing harmonics, the harmonic frequencies are multiples of what is known as the 'fundamental' frequency. For example, for a waveform that contains 'third harmonics', the fundamental frequency is one-third the frequency of the harmonics. The fundamental frequency of vocal folds the speech mechanism as sound generator.
