Abstract :
This paper shows trends in harmonic emission by large groups of modern computers over a 7-year period. The measurements were obtained at computer tournaments where almost exclusively the newest types of computers are used. The measurements clearly show that the harmonic distortion is decreasing significantly while the power consumption per computer does not change significantly.
