What are some devices that are responsible for harmonics?

What will be an ideal response?


Harmonics on single-phase power lines are generally caused by devices such as computer power supplies, electronic ballasts in fluorescent lights, triac light dimmers, and so on. Three-phase harmonics are generally produced by variable-frequency drives for AC motors and electronic drives for DC motors. A good example of a pulsating load is one that converts AC current into DC and then regulates the DC voltage by pulse-width modulation. Many regulated power supplies operate in this manner.
