The role of harmonics in power systems

Did you know that harmonics can significantly affect the efficiency of electrical systems? For instance, in industrial settings, the presence of harmonics can lead to overheating in transformers and motors, reducing their lifespan. I’m curious about others’ experiences with mitigating these effects in their designs — what methods have you found effective?
