This month's Electrical Review (a free trade magazine in the UK) 
has just fallen on my desk, with this text and its associated 
picture taking up about a fifth of the area of the front page - I'm 
quoting it just for interest with regard to this thread!

"Perfect Harmony?  Power conditioning equipment specialist 
Claude Lyons has installed a 200A harmonic rejection 
transformer at RAF Lakenheath to reduce the problems caused 
by harmonic currents.  The recent installation of a frequency 
converter had caused harmonic distortion on the low-voltage 
network.  Cables were overheating and equipment was failing.  
The HRT was specified to redirect the harmful currents.  After 
installation, Claude Lyon monitored the unit and found a 
reduction in the production of harmonic currents - from 72 to 
19A in the main neutral cable."
