Read on to find out why understanding harmonics is important before selecting your next induction melting system and what are the associated effects, causes, and solutions.
This paper reviews what metal casters should understand about harmonics when considering induction melting equipment. It reviews what harmonics are, the effects, along with the causes. Additionally, it covers theoretical values of harmonics currently generated by rectifiers, based on 3, 6, 12, and 24 phase systems.
