Is it bad to rectify ac mains power with high power diodes? Does it put harmonics onto the grid and make ac line dangerous for everything in the house or is it safe to do?

YesIs it bad to rectify ac mains power with high power diodes?
yes, as soon as connect capacitors on the DC sideDoes it put harmonics onto the grid
Noand make ac line dangerous for everything in the house
It´s not "unsafe" for the gridor is it safe to do?
...the rectifier is "unsafe" because it is high voltage and no isolation against earth...
...2. As said, electric circuits directly connected to the grid carry hazardous contact voltage. An isolated high voltage circuit can be however dangerous as well...
