Ref: Website of Hershey Energy Systems Triplen Harmonics - The triplen harmonics, in alternating current power systems, are defined as the odd multiples of the 3rd harmonic (ex. 3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st etc.). Triplen harmonics are of particular concern because they are zero sequence harmonics, unlike the fundamental, which is positive sequence. The consequence of this fact is that the magnitude of these currents on the 3 phases are additive in the neutral. Edited the original to add: ", in alternating current power systems, "

A warm ocean current affecting England's climate?
Currents that originate near the equator are going to be warm water currents, and currents that form near the poles will be cold water currents. It is the temperature of the waters in these currents that influence the climates of the land masses by or around which they flow.
What type of current flows in the opposite direction of wind related currents?
oppositional currents
Why did the ocean-going sailboats depend on ocean currents?
currents provide movement in times of little to no wind
What is the relationship between longshore currents and sandbars?
longshore currents for example ,often deposit sand along shorelines,the sand builds up to form sandbars
What type of currents and tides are in the Indian ocean?
warm
What is triplen harmonics?
The triplen harmonics are defined as the odd multiples of the 3rd harmonic (ex. 3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st etc.). Triplen harmonics are of particular concern because they are zero sequence harmonics, unlike the fundamental, which is positive sequence. The consequence of this fact is that the magnitude of these currents on the 3 phases are additive in the neutral. This can lead to very large currents circulating in the neutral, and unless the neutral is sufficiently oversized this can present a fire hazard. These currents can also circulate in the transformer causing significant overheating there too. Single-phase power supplies for equipment such as electronic ballasts and PCs are the most significant source of Triplen harmonics
What is the term harmonic when refering to a three phase transformer?
A problem arises in 3-phase systems when the loads draw harmonic currents. This can happen with a load like a TV set which contains rectifiers to produce a dc supply for its electronic circuits. The load current waveform is not a perfect sine wave and it can be analysed in the frequency domain as the sum of a fundamental current at 50 Hz (in Europe) and harmonics at 100, 150, 200, 250 Hz etc. This is done by Fourier analysis. The triplen harmonics are the odd-multiples of 3, in other words the 3rd, 9th, 15th etc. and cause problems in 3-phase systems. In a balanced 3-phase 4-wire system there is zero current in the neutral wire, but when there are triplen harmonics in the load current, there is current in the neutral even when the currents are balanced (i.e. equal in all three phases), because the triplen currents add while the fundamental-frequency currents cancel out in the neutral. Unnecessary currents cause additional losses in the power transmission network and therefore transmission engineers try to minimise them.
Are thermohaline currents surface or deep water currents?
deepwater currents
What are diverging currents?
Diverging currents are currents that are deviating and usually take place to ocean currents. This will be marked by an inconsistent airflow pattern of the currents.
How are ocean currents like wind currents?
they are both currents.
What are circular currents called?
If you are referring to currents in iron cores, circular currents are called eddy currents.
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Surface Currents
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
How do currents affect?
Warm currents have a very obvious affect on the temperature that surrounds it. Warm currents will warm the area around the currents.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
What are the basic 2 types currents?
You can have electrical currents, or currents in fluids such as water or air.
