"Household loads are becoming increasingly non-linear with really awful harmonics."
OK, but properly enforced EMC regulations would significantly reduce that, surely?
You know, a CE mark where the Declaration of Conformity was in some way connected to reality, and where kit which isn't CE compliant is blocked at the importers.
Instead, our leaders offer us "bonfire of the red tape" (and worse).
"The only linear loads in my home are the kettle, coffe maker and electric oven. Everything else is an SMP or a motor drive."
There's a lot of it about. Significantly fewer classically resistive loads means voltage reductions don't reduce electricity demand like they used to. Who can remind readers why "smart **meters**" need a remotely controllable off switch? Apparently Andrew Wright at Ofgem can:
