[QUOTE="simonplights, post: 449949, member: 25292"] Thanks Tony, I did actually spend several hours Googling power quality, power factor in systems etc, but couldn't find an article that answered my question in the detail I wanted. Articles often went to great lengths to discuss a supply supplying a given single load - with all of the resulting reactance, chopping, harmonics etc that appear over the input terminals of that device, which all made sense, but then stopping short of discussing the actual mechanism by which this affected other loads within the system, often saying something like "such harmonics can affect the power delivered to other sensitive medical/instrumentation equipment in the electrical system" - yes, but how? And rather than just make an assumption as to what I believe is the case, I like to check with those more experienced that I'm on the right track. I thought it would be somewhat more appreciated that someone, especially an electrical newbie, had tried to research and understand a possible mechanism before posting, rather than just shout 'help' without trying to think first. I did have a read of some of the links from your search and I'm fairly settled that I've got this about right. Thanks, Simon [/QUOTE]
