This mini whitepaper includes general guidelines to detect and measure harmonics.

K-Factor transformers are required to supply electricity to harmonic generating loads. Non-linear loads continue to proliferate in the market due to their desired benefit of reducing energy consumption. Harmonic generating loads present a difficult electrical environment for general purpose transformers to supply electricity; therefore, K-Factor transformers are installed.

This paper explains the concept of harmonics and important properties of special harmonics such as triplen. The definitions of some harmonics content indicators are included too.
