It was based on INADEQUATE technical evidence, but not on NO technical evidence. Also involved was a prediction of how the demonstrated rise in harmonics over the decade 1978-1988 would continue in the future. That prediction seems to have been pessimistic, not because the harmonics currents of distorting loads are less in proportion to the fundamental, but because the fundamental has decreased due to design improvements and 'green' pressures. I lead an IEC group which is producing an IEC Report on the subject (future IEC61000-1-4). -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
