Harmonics may be present in your facility due tothe loads you operate or may be caused by loadsin adjacent facilities. The presence of harmonicsin your facility can lead to:• overheating transformers and conductors• nuisance tripping of circuit breakers• early failures of electrical equipmentQuantifying the cost of wasted energy due to thepresence of harmonics simplifies the return-on-investment calculation needed to justify purchas-ing harmonic filters. By installing a harmonicfilter the ill effects of harmonics can be reducedand energy waste eliminated, resulting in loweroperational costs and more reliable operation
