2. Introduction to VLT AQUA Drive
NB!
To ensure low harmonic currents, the frequency converter is equipped with intermediate circuit coils as standard. This normally reduces
the input current I

The voltage distortion on the mains supply depends on the size of the harmonic currents multiplied by the mains impedance for the frequency in question.
The total voltage distortion THD is calculated on the basis of the individual voltage harmonics using this formula:

at the interface point between the user's supply and the public system.
It is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the distribution network operator if necessary, that the
equipment is connected only to a supply with a short-circuit power S
Other power sizes can be connected to the public supply network by consultation with the distribution network operator.
2.11. Immunity Requirements
2.11.1. Immunity Requirements
The immunity requirements for frequency converters depend on the environment where they are installed. The requirements for the industrial environment
are higher than the requirements for the home and office environment. All frequency converters comply with the requirements for the industrial envi-
ronment and consequently comply also with the lower requirements for home and office environment with a large safety margin.
In order to document immunity against electrical interference from electrical phenomena, the following immunity tests have been made on a system
consisting of a frequency converter (with options if relevant), a screened control cable and a control box with potentiometer, motor cable and motor.
The tests were performed in accordance with the following basic standards:
