2. Origin of distortions
Electronic devices are primarily responsible for harmonic pollution, but other loads on the network can also contribute.
Synchronous machines and saturated transformers are sources of harmonic voltages. The harmonic levels produced by these sources always remain below one percent. Some equipment designed to compensate for voltage dips (uninterruptible power supplies – ASI – of rudimentary design) also produce voltage harmonics on their downstream network.

Origin of distortions
Technical and economic aspects
In the introductory article
, it is shown that equipment connected to a network must, on the one hand, not "emit too much" disturbance and, on the other hand, must not be "too sensitive" to this same disturbance. While simple to express, this dual concept is more difficult to implement in the field. Indeed, for a particular piece of equipment, reducing its emission of disturbance and/or...
