The triplen harmonics that are caused by nonlinear loads can cause issues such as excessive neutral currents, transformer failures, excessive heating of motors, electronic device failures, failed capacitor banks, breakers and fuses tripping, and communication issues related to RFI and noise ingression into the communication system.

This paper details what triplen harmonics are, what causes them, system issues that result from triplen harmonics, and best practice for mitigating triplen harmonics and their effects.

This Whitepaper Includes:

• Triplen Harmonics
• Sources of Triplen Harmonics
• Issues Resulting from Triplen Harmonics
• Ways to Reduce Triplen Harmonics
