← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when harmonics distort voltage within sensitive electronic circuits?
A)Equipment overheating and insulation breakdown✓
B)Improved power factor near unity
C)Increased circuit breaker interrupting capacity
D)Reduced electromagnetic interference emissions
💡 Explanation
Harmonic distortion can cause equipment overheating because increased current flow generates excessive heat due to skin effect; therefore, insulation degrades and components fail, rather than benefiting power factor or reducing interference.
