Which outcome occurs from excessive harmonic frequencies in AC power transmission?

💡 Explanation

Excessive harmonic distortion causes increased reactive power demand because harmonic currents increase RMS current which raises reactive power losses through inductive impedance. Therefore, more reactive power is demanded rather than the line losses decreasing, reducing skin effect or lowering transformer losses.
