Let's discuss the subject of nonlinear loads defined in Article 100 as:

Quote
Nonlinear Load. A load where the wave shape of the steady-state current does not follow the wave shape of the applied voltage.

FPN: Electronic equipment, electronic/electric-discharge lighting, adjustable-speed drive systems, and similar equipment may be nonlinear loads.

Discussion on "the major portion of the load" as it relates to this subject when dealing with wye systems.
