Harmonics are generated by non-linear components and loads in the power system. These elements are characterized by a voltage drop which is not proportional to the current flow. In electrical power engineering a number of such non-linear loads exist, in components and devices such as welding machines, electronic drive systems or fluorescent lighting. You will find them also in private households in, for example, TV sets or computers.
Harmonic currents may have an adverse effect on different electrical components. These include transformers, switches, capacitors, fuses and relays. The detrimental effects are increased losses and heating and/or excessive dielectric stresses. If electric power systems are used for telecommunication purposes as well, harmonic currents may affect the quality of the signal transmission. Electric utilities very often impose high charges when certain maximum levels of harmonic distortion are exceeded.

Benefits of using De-tuned reactor.
()Pro-long the life of power factor capacitor by reducing overheating, or fuse failure.
()Prevent nuisance input fuse blowing or circuit breaker tripping.
()Reduce over heating of transformer.
()Reduce the harmonic current in the electrical supply system.
()Addressing the harmonic problems created by non-linear load such as AFD’s, AC-DC
converter, DC drives, welding m/c etc.
