Nonlinear loads Nonlinear loads like adjustable frequency controls create line harmonics when connected to the AC power distribution system. These harmonic currents are a result of non-sinusoidal current, which is a characteristic of all adjustable frequency controls using diodes or silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) on the input. The control’s input current is composed of the fundamental sinusoidal current […] Read more
