Harmonic Distortion in Induction Motor How Harmonic Distortion Affects your Induction Motor Performance

Harmonic distortion has always been a problem for electrical engineers as it leads to heavy power loss in AC induction motors and transformers. These losses in AC induction motors leads to excessive heating, which happens because of additional copper losses and iron losses (eddy current and hysteresis losses) in the stator winding, rotor circuit, and rotor laminations.
