hardener

Electronic components; Capacitors

A substance or mixture of substances added to plastic composition, or an adhesive to promote or control the curing reaction by taking part in it.

harmonic

Electronic components; Capacitors

An integral multiple of the fundamental frequency (60 Hz) that becomes a component of the current.

harmonic distortion

Electronic components; Capacitors

Distortion of an AC waveform caused by multiples of the fundamental frequency (harmonics). Odd triplet harmonics (thirds, ninths, etc.) may result in large currents on the neutral line in a ...
