Which outcome occurs when excessive harmonics distort voltage waveform in power circuits feeding sensitive medical equipment?

💡 Explanation

Harmonic distortion introduces unwanted frequencies, which cause equipment misoperation because the *skin effect* increases current flow at higher frequencies, therefore components overheat rather than operating within design parameters, leading to failure and/or malfunction.
