A little bit late, but ... In 'Power Quality Assurance' magazine for July/August 1998, there's an article concerning harmonic distortion & ways to minimize it. It also mentions active PFC (without giving much information on it).
The article was written by Mark McGranaghan of Electrotek Concepts Inc.
