The article deals with the assessment of impact of higher harmonics on the operation of variablefrequency electric drive systems used in processing units at mining enterprises. Beyond that, energy efficiency and operation experience of variable-frequency electric drive usage at mining enterprises were studied. The advantages and drawbacks of implementation of variable-frequency electric drive systems were found. They include energy saving and reducing maintenance costs for processing units on one hand, as well as losses due to their incorrect selection and electromagnetic compatibility distortion on the other hand.
