In electrical systems, harmonics are frequencies that are integer multiples of the base fundamental frequency, leading to distortion in power systems.

Cosines

Refers to the cosine function, a trigonometric function that represents the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.

Frequency

The number of complete cycles of AC voltage that occur in 1 s.
