I realize that the third, seventh, and ninth harmonics are what most filters are set up to correct concerning unwanted EMF, but I have forgotten the reason or technical theory of why they are the bad guys! If anyone knows, I would appreciate your POSITIVE input. ( I know that they add to the distortion, heat, and kvar on the lines)..Thanks.

Those items and the associated problems that they cause pretty much sums it up.

Thanks, I found an article written by Richard P. Bingham on Google, "Understanding the Facts". His article was great and I think I understand harmonics more clearly. I appreciate everyones input.
