Phenomenon: Increasing Load Current THD
Assumption:
A non-linear load consists of an impedance as well as a harmonics current source.
The load current ILD consists of a fundamental and a harmonics part:
The admittance is the reciprocal of the impedance:
The current of the current source IHarm is distributed to the network admittance as well as
to the load admittance appropriate to their admittance values:
