An example power system has two distinct manufacturing areas, one with harmonic loads, and another with only linear loads. The portion of the system with the harmonic loads draws 75 A rms at 60 Hz, 10 A rms at 300 Hz, and 5 A rms at 420 Hz. The part of the system with only linear loads draws 75 A rms at 60 Hz.   (i) What is the total load current (at 60 Hz) if both manufacturing plants are running? Calculate the THD.   (ii) What is the total load current (at 60 Hz) if only the manufacturing plant with harmonic loads is running? Calculate the THD.
