Harmonic distortion Harmonic distortion is the addition of non-linear overtones in the waveform of electrical supply. This metric indicates how the lighting product will affect the quality of the electrical utility’s grid. The metric is the mathematic ratio of the sum of the powers of all harmonic components to the power of the fundamental frequency. Total harmonic distortion (THD) affects the quality of the electrical grid, causing a loss of reliability of switch pulse information used to remotely control equipment connected to the electrical supply. Therefore it must be kept as minimal as possible.
