Which outcome occurs when harmonics propagate in electrical power distribution systems?

💡 Explanation

When harmonics propagate, excessive current flow and core saturation in transformers results because of nonlinear loads which produce harmonic frequencies. Therefore transformer overheating and decreased lifespan result, rather than improved power factor, balanced load, or decreased neutral current, each requiring dedicated power conditioning equipment.
