Abstract
This paper analyses the interactions between the incremental changes of current harmonic phasors injected by a power system NL (nonlinear load) and the resulting variations of harmonic voltages and powers. It proves that it is not always possible, following simple measurements of individual harmonic powers, to decide if a certain harmonic current is harmful or useful. It is suggested that the NL “distortion” be evaluated with the help of a quantity called non60 Hz (nonfundamental) apparent power
