The Effects of Harmonics on Capacitors
include additional heating - and in severe cases overloading, increased
dielectric or voltage stress, and unwanted losses. Also, the combination of harmonics
and capacitors in a system could lead to a more severe power quality condition called
harmonic resonance, which has the potential for extensive damage. Consequently,
these negative effects will shorten capacitor life.
