This paper is preliminary study with focused on the harmonics generated by household appliances. There are only several household appliances that considered in this paper are television set, laptop computer and compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). To measure the input current, the measurement equipment was installed at the input side of equipment under the test. The important parameters that have been recorded are individual harmonic currents, total harmonics distortion, power factor, input current and input voltage wave form. From the measurement results, television sets, laptop computers and CFLs have been found generate the THD i of 177%, 273.66% and 154.2% respectively. If it is widely used in residential areas, it is likely that there will be increased harmonic distortion in the electric power distribution system. Because this research is still in its early stages, at the end of this research it will be known how much harmonics is generated by the load in the residential area. If amount of harmonics generated by the housing load that exceeds the limit, so the next step of this research a harmonics filter design will carried out.
