The total voltage distortion THD is calculated from the individual harmon-
ics according to the following formula:

Mains voltage asymmetry
According to IEC1000-2-4 the mains voltage asymmetry may be only 2%.
In summary: The example shows that the benefit of a line choke
with 4 % short-circuit voltage is wide-ranging, and so it
should not be omitted from any machine or system.
