Abstract :
Harmonics and distortion of current and voltage waveforms in power systems is a subject of great concern to the power industry. The authors present a numerical method to calculate the harmonics level in the AC supply caused by the operation of DC electrified railways. This technique can be used at the design stage of new railways
