From Harmonics Limited
Power consumption of harmonic drawing loads is an increasing concern for cost conscious facility managers and engineers. One of the authoritative documents discussing this topic was published in the July/August 1997 IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, by Thomas Key and Jih-Sheng Lai on "Effectiveness of Harmonic Mitigation Equipment for Commercial Office Buildings" [1]. The paper illustrated that up to 8% kW reduction could be realized by eliminating
harmonic current at various points in a power distribution system, with the greatest benefits achieved with harmonic mitigation applied at the point of use.
