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.


What does happen if tripled harmonics is given to induction motorADMISSION?

If triplen harmonics (multiples of three) are introduced to an induction motor, they can lead to increased heating, reduced efficiency, and potential torque pulsation. Triplen harmonics do not contribute to the motor's fundamental torque, which can cause additional vibrations and mechanical stress. Additionally, these harmonics can lead to distorted current waveforms, potentially affecting the motor's performance and lifespan. In severe cases, it may also result in overheating of the motor windings.


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.


What are circular currents called?

If you are referring to currents in iron cores, circular currents are called eddy currents.


Are density currents faster than surface currents?

no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)


What are the three types of ocean currents?

The three types of ocean currents are surface currents, deep currents, and tidal currents. Surface currents are driven by winds, deep currents are driven by density and temperature differences, and tidal currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.


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.


Describe the similarities and differences between gyres and currents?

A difference between gyres and currents is that currents are formed by the wind, but gyres are formed by currents.
