Combatting the pollution of the power distribution systems by electronic equipment

The increasing number of line-powered electronic equipment causes severe pollution in the power distribution system mainly by producing distorted line currents and voltage. In this paper we review the various aspects of power-line pollution, and provide a general overview of how to combat the distortion caused by rectifier loads. We also consider the EMI and cost issues of line-harmonics reduction.
