In square wave operation, the line voltages of a three-phase VSI contain harmonics. How are their amplitudes related to harmonic order?

Correct answer C. Inversely proportional to their harmonic order

Explanation

The Fourier series of a square or quasi-square wave gives the nth harmonic an amplitude equal to the fundamental divided by n, so amplitudes are inversely proportional to harmonic order.
