Fifth harmonic voltages in EHV transmission systems

Abstract
Transmission engineers have reported the appearance of fifth harmonic voltages in extra high voltage (EHV) transmission circuits. In this paper, one cause of this phenomenon is discussed: transformer saturation. Measurements taken in a 500 kV transmission system are reported. A brief discussion of the impact of the fifth harmonic voltages is given.
