Harmonics is electric current or voltages that are part of the power system as a result of nonlinear electric loads. If there is no load and a harmonic is present it can present because of a rectifier in the system.

What is k factor?
K-factor is a weighting of the harmonic load currents according to their effects on transformer heating, as derived from ANSI/IEEE C57.110. A K-factor of 1.0 indicates a linear load (no harmonics). The higher the K-factor, the greater the harmonic heating effects.
What are harmonics in a complex waveform?
Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency".
Sources of harmonics?
Harmonics is multiple of fundamental frequency. Spurious is not related to fundamental frequency but it is observed at the output spectrum. Harmonics are generated due to non-linearity of the device. Harmonics can generate spurious. As an example harmonics can produce resonance with mechanical box internal structure and can generate spurious. Harmonics generally generated from TCXO & frequency multipliers. If amplifier is non-linear, this will also generate harmonics. But harmonics very near to carrier generally generates interference to modulating signals. We design final power amplifier as a class AB amplifier to get more output power and better efficiency and also to minimize output power variation with temperature. Since it is non linear amplifier it generates harmonics but it will be very far from carrier and can be filtered easily. See the link for detail :- http://harshit.org/spurious and harmonics.pdf
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.
Calculation of peak value for ac signal?
The peak value of a sinusoidal ac signal is RMS voltage divided by 0.707, or two times the square root of two. Note: AC signals are rarely truly sinusoidal, because power supplies rarely pull a consistent load for the full duty cycle. (They pulse.) This introduces harmonics in the signal, which cause error in the above calculation but, unless the harmonics are extreme, the calculation is close.
Harmonics in three phase why not in single phase?
Harmonics are the result of the current waveform being distorted by a non-linear load, such as a computer power supply or a motor control drive (VFD). In a commercial setting (which is usually 3-phase), harmonics cause unwanted current to flow which does no useful work, yet must be accounted for when sizing conductors, transformers, etc. Harmonics are certainly not limited to 3-phase systems, however. Any non-linear load, even single-phase, causes harmonics. Your computer, television, and microwave oven probably create harmonics. In a residential setting though, there are not enough cumulative harmonic currents to worry about. Unless you have 50 computers at your house...
What is a electrical load?
a nonlinear electrical load, like a battery charger or water heater when present in a power system produces harmonics or rather distortions which leads to improper proportionality of voltage to current. so that's an electrical load
What guitar has the best harmonics?
There are no best harmonics.
When was Psy-Harmonics created?
Psy-Harmonics was created in 1993.
When did Sigma Harmonics happen?
Sigma Harmonics happened in 2008.
Why the harmonics are multiples of fundamental frequency?
Because that is how harmonics are defined!
What is the difference between harmonic and transients?
harmonics nothing but harmonics...............
Is odd harmonics present in push pull amplifier?
Odd harmonics are theoretically the only harmonics that are produced by a push-pull amplifier, and even the level of odd harmonics should be very low.
When was Sigma Harmonics created?
Sigma Harmonics was created on 2008-08-21.
What are harmonics in power distribution system?
Harmonics are a multiple of the fundamental frequency. If the power frequency is 60Hz, harmonics occur at 120Hz, 180Hz, 240Hz, etc.
Why harmonics present in a signal?
if a signal is not a pure sine wave it must contain harmonics
When referring to sound waves what does harmonics mean?
Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental frequency of the wave.
