3.4.4 Harmonics Emission
A drive takes up a non-sinusoidal current from mains, which increases the input current I
formed with a Fourier analysis and split into sine-wave currents with different frequencies, that is, different harmonic currents I
with 50 Hz basic frequency:
Table 11: Harmonic Currents
Hz
The harmonics do not affect the power consumption directly, but increase the heat losses in the installation (transformer, cables).
So, in plants with a high percentage of rectifier load, maintain harmonic currents at a low level to avoid overload of the transformer
and high temperature in the cables.
Illustration 23: DC-link Coils
Some of the harmonic currents might disturb communication equipment connected to the same transformer or cause resonance
with power factor correction batteries.
To ensure low harmonic currents, the drive is equipped with DC-link coils as standard. This normally reduces the input current I
by 40%.
The voltage distortion on the mains supply voltage depends on the size of the harmonic currents multiplied by the mains impe-
dance for the frequency in question. The total voltage distortion THDv is calculated based on the individual voltage harmonics us-
ing this formula:
