Abstract :
It is well known that the voltage and current wave shapes of transmission and distribution circuits are distorted more or less from a true fundamental-frequency sinusoid. Several years ago extensive tests were conducted, measuring the wave shapes for different types and voltages of circuits.1 There were however no definite conclusions drawn concerning the origin or improvement of these wave distortions.
