True, but the intent of the current standards work is to try to minimise
the total cost, thus being fair to the consumer, the equipment
manufacturers and the supply industry. It's not an easy task, because
relevant data is scarce, and costly to collect.

FW: Harmonics -- WSJ opinion.

RE: Harmonics -- WSJ opinion.Rich, John

It's of no interest to the consumer. He pays in any case.

He either pays the manufacturer for increased design and manufacturing costs
for compliance with the harmonics standard, or he pays the electric company
for increased infrastructure.

Best Wishes,

Jon Griver


  One comment of Mr Hunter's that stood out in particular was the very last
. . .
   . . . the only ones who benefit from the harmonic current emission
standard
  are the European electricity distributors.  They avoid
  investments in bolstering their networks against the
  theoretical harmonics risk at the cost of manufacturers
  and consumers.
