Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

A power quality analyzer displays total harmonic distortion as a percentage, most often of the voltage, and shows the share of each individual harmonic as a harmonic spectrum either live on the instrument or from logged data; harmonics arise mainly from nonlinear loads such as variable frequency drives that draw current in abrupt pulses.
