Re: Tweaking via parallel chokes/transformers on AC line harmful to grid?

In my area the power from the 69kV power line goes to a substation first. From there it is distributed to many large "neighborhood" transformers. From that huge tranny it is sent out again to several street transformers. I think any correction that you do at home is pretty well isolated from the original power lines. At the most it is quite insignificant.

Also, if there is any "loss", reactive or otherwise, wouldn't it show up on your bill?
