Harmonic Suppression Guideline In Japan - Mitsubishi Electric FR-D720-0.1K Instruction Manual

3.1.4

Harmonic suppression guideline in Japan

Harmonic currents flow from the inverter to a power receiving point via a power transformer. The Harmonic Suppression
Guidelines was established to protect other consumers from these outgoing harmonic currents.
The three-phase 200V input specifications 3.7kW or less (single-phase 200V power input model 2.2kW or less, single-phase
100V power input model 0.75kW) are previously covered by "Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Household Appliances
and General-purpose Products" and other models are covered by "Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Consumers Who
Receive High Voltage or Special High Voltage". However, the transistorized inverter has been excluded from the target
products covered by "Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Household Appliances and General-purpose Products" in
January 2004 and "Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Household Appliances and General-purpose Products" was
repealed on September 6, 2004.
All capacity and all models of general-purpose inverter used by specific consumers are covered by "Harmonic Suppression
Guidelines for Consumers Who Receive High Voltage or Special High Voltage" (hereinafter referred to as "Specific Consumer
Guidelines").
"Specific Consumer Guidelines"
This guideline sets forth the maximum values of harmonic currents outgoing from a high-voltage or especially high-voltage
consumer who will install, add or renew harmonic generating equipment. If any of the maximum values are exceeded, this
guideline requires the consumer to take certain suppression measures.

* K42=0.35 is a value when the reactor value is 20%. Since a 20% reactor is large and considered to be not practical, K42=1.67 is written as conversion factor
for a 5% reactor in the technical data JEM-TR201 of the Japan Electric Machine Industry Association and this value is recommended for calculation for the
actual practice.
