What Are Harmonics?
Technical DescriptionA high frequency sinusoidal current or voltage produced by certain non-linear and switching processes in the system during normal periodic operation (steady state);
The harmonic frequency is an integer multiple of the system operating frequency (fundamental).
The non-sinusoidal part in a periodic voltage or current is the harmonic ripple or harmonic distortion—comprised of harmonic frequencies.
Mathematical Definition Sine and cosine functions of time with frequencies that are integer
multiples of a fundamental frequency Harmonic sine and cosine functions sum up to a periodic (non-
sinusoidal) function Terms of the Fourier series expansion of a periodic function;

Generalization: Fourier Series
The Fourier theorem states that a bounded periodic function f(t) with limited finite number of discontinuities can be described by an infinite series of sine and cosine terms of frequency that is the integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of f(t):
